Default Setting control surface deflection??

Hi all,

I'll be receiving my first giant scale airplane (28% Wild Hare Edge 540T) in a few weeks, and as part of the assembly, I'll need to set the control surface deflections. What tool is everybody using to do this??

Thanks,

John

ruler and throw meter is my choice of tools. Don's Hobby Shop,Central hobbies have the meter if your hobby shop doesn't.

I have a throw meter but I normally use a ruler, tongue depressors and clamps!

I have two sets of throw meters. If under 45° I use these and like them very much
