Will this fall in the realm of another toy? For regular sport flying it is a lot of overkill. I think too many people over-engineer their modeling.

I like the Great Planes one, it just clips on and is easy to read.
That's interesting, but how do you measure deflection in inches? Most of the kits I build all show the control throws in inches not degrees.
Lay a steel rule on the horizontal stab, and position another vertically at the trailing edge of the elevator, intersecting the horizontal rule; the horizontal rule serves as a "zero pointer". Read inches directly on the vertical rule. Cheers, Fred McClellan the dash plumber at mindspring dot com
How do you handle an airfoiled stab.... ;-)
