Default RE: Degrees into inches to setup controls

Sort of... Ten degrees on a smaller control surface would be a small amount of throw, while ten degrees on a large control surface would be much more throw.

What you can do is measure the widest part of the control surface (front to back), call it :"X". Call the amount of degrees "D". XsinD=throw in inches. Make sure your calculator is in degrees and not radians. Measure your throw from that widest point.
