style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The list is just too quiet so I
thought I would pass along this handy utility. It is an Excel spread
sheet to convert surface deflection measured with a ruler into degrees of
deflection or visa versa. It is modified from one available on
aeroperfect.com. I added the ability to enter the deflection angle to
get a ruler measurement. If you haven’t seen the product offered by
this company it appears to be a quality digital inclinometer (angle gauge)
that can be used for setup. A bit expensive but I have been using the
module from a Smart Level which works well but too bulky to attach to a
control surface. Hanger 9 offers a similar device that if it was made
well would be just what the Dr. ordered, but its poor construction in fit
tolerances and repeatability make it all but
useless.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
