Default RE: split flaps on piper cub

OK, I am a C-5 Flight Engineer and i am still unaware that the GALAXY has a 20% flap setting. It would be hard for the system to corelate with the 16 degree switches. How do you measure percent of the flaps for your aircraft? Uusally its percent of the available travel. Well hope you figure this out, because a cub flies alot differenty than a GALAXY. Nick

P.S- We only land at 40% when we have to due to mechanical defects.
