Description

The Twisted Hobbys Control Throw Angle-Meter provides a simple, repeatable way to measure aileron, elevator, and rudder movement during aircraft setup. Its bold, easy-to-read scale measures control deflection up to 70 degrees in either direction, helping you match positive and negative throws and identify unwanted differential.

Control Throw Angle-Meter Overview
Aircraft Setup Tool
Measurement
Control-Surface Throw
Range
Up to 70° Each Direction
Control Surfaces
Aileron / Elevator / Rudder
Setup Check
Positive / Negative Throw
Aircraft Types
Sport / Precision / 3D
Included
1 Angle-Meter Tool
Match Throws and Identify Differential
Measure both directions from the same position to compare control travel accurately. The angle scale makes it easier to balance throws and refine linkage or transmitter settings for predictable control response.
View Aircraft Setup Tools
Basic Use
1
Center the surface. Position the tool at the selected measurement point.
2
Measure full travel. Move the control surface to full deflection and read the indicated angle.
3
Compare both directions. Measure the opposite throw from the same position and adjust as needed.
Setup Applications
Ailerons: Compare left and right movement and check differential
Elevator: Match positive and negative pitch control throws
Rudder: Verify maximum movement in both directions
Adjustment: Refine linkage geometry or transmitter settings
Visibility: Bold angle markings for quick, easy readings
Setup Tip: Center the control surface before beginning and use the same tool position when measuring both directions. This provides a consistent reference for comparing positive and negative throw.

    Throw Angle-Meter

    Posted by Thomas Peters on Apr 17th 2024

    WOW A few weeks ago I misplaced a very old wooden angle meter that looked like this one. I web searched everywhere for a similar one and the only one I found was at TW. Now don't get we wrong but when I ordered this one, I had extremely low expectations. When it arrived, I felt nothing in the mailing envelop, and I was thinking it's carboard! BUT then I opened it ... Let me say it's great! Its plastic, made well, easy to read, easy to adjust tension, and "handles" better that the lost bigger one!. Might be pricey, but you won't regret the purchase. Only issue is ... I lost one that was 3X bigger!!! I've already found a nice case to keep this one in! (When the old one is found, it'll go to a storage location!)

    Purchased to try it out, works just fine. Small enough not to damage surface.

    Throw Angle-Meter Tool

    I used this on two models. The arms are fairly tight. This is good if you are trying to match the two control surfaces or perhaps the up and down throws. It would be OK if you preset the tool and then try to match the angle on the plane. Of course you have to conver the inch or mm throws to angles. If you are wanting to place it on the surface and let it swing as you adjust the surface, you would need to loosen the pivot.

    Didn't know what to expect much better quality then i thought. Works great for all models.

    Great tool for angle setting

    Great little tool for checking the angle of surface throws. Very simple and straightforward. Every toolbox should have one.

    helped me find my roll barrel issue for my pitts model. Can now set up my throws and dial in each plan I have. Use it on 3dhs Slick also.
