Hi there
Once I found some kind of a template on www to print on a piece of paper. With this you could the deflection of your flaps in degrees.
Now where I need it I can't find it. Anyone knows what I'm talking about?
Thanks in advance

I dunno. 90 degrees is pretty easy to judge by eye.. ;)
Seriously, though, I assemble the wings without the fuselage and sight down the flaps to ensure equal deflection through the range of control movement. I've never found a really precise way to measure deflection more accurately than you can sight it. You only forget to do this on a new model once.. :)

BnD has it, Tom Copp has a nice deflection gage that he has there.

Jep, thats it. Thanks!
I thought that my Supra flaps was 80 degrees but it seems like it's only 70 degrees. But would I ever notice the difference when flying?
