Hi , Many thanks for the reply, Yes I posted it in the wrong section. I understand the percentage in those instruction, relating to my TX, But doesn't that rely on the size of the servo horn! If it's large then the percentage will differ from that of a smaller one.
Sebart don't give Millimetres, which would be more helpful. thanks

Those instructions give the angle in degrees!
You use the appropriate servo arm and control horn that gives the correct deflection.
All you need is a protractor and some cardboard templates if you want to be exact..
Remember they are guidelines. You might find you need more or less.

As per Q .... a simple protractor and piece of card does the trick.
I have a Surface deflection gauge I bought of Hobby King .... far too heavy an item even on a large model. I went back to pencil and card !
