Product Description
The Twisted Hobbys Dangle-O-Meter provides an easy, repeatable way to measure aileron, elevator, and rudder control throws during aircraft setup. The tool stays positioned on the control surface while its rotating reference wheel is set to zero, allowing you to move the surface and read the resulting throw angle without holding the gauge by hand.
