Default RE: Throw meter in percents

Hey Gray Beard - - all of 'em!
Thems a lot more percents then I can handle!!! Joking aside, Central Hobbies sells a couple of different degree meters, the clip on type is the one you see most the time and they are very good meters, I have tried to make some like the units they sell, mine work but are ugly, friends don't let friends use ugly meters!! Can't help myself!! The $25.00 price is a bit much for me. The ones I make just sit on the stab or wing and the pointer rides on the control surface. They work very well too. I think Central sets up there planes throws at 12 and 18 degrees, I set up my own planes at 8 and 10. When I set up my throws I set my linkage to get as close to 100% servo movement as I can, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. How was that Mike?? You can see from my set up I'm a chicken!!!!
