measuring flap angles for rigging

measuring flap angles for rigging
The triple redundancy of posting was a computer glitch and the stupid
thing didn't indicate that it ever posted. As for recalibration, I found that it wasn't always necessary but on a couple of occasions, it was giving me readings that my eyes didn't accept and it proved to need recalibration. Since I wasn't using it on a frequent basis, I found it easier to simply recalibrate before use. Doesn't take but a few seconds to make sure. |

I have had mine since 2002 and have needed to calibrate it exactly twice. I do check it from time to time on a know level and a known 45 deg. angle. |
