The question was weather to set the total throw measuring at the top/bottom of the rudder, or inside/outside on the elevator. Both control surfaces are wider at one end than the other.
The amount of travel isn't given in degrees, which would make it much easier.
Example...If a rudder that were deflected to 30 degrees in both directions, and the top was 1" wide and the bottom were 2" wide, the top would travel 1.14 total and the bottom would travel 3" total. This is why it is confusing when the travel is given in inches.
Thanks for your input, but I am quite familiar with setting total throws, as long as I am told where to measure it from on a non-parallel control surface.
