Sonex flaps

Has anyone measured their actual flap angles at 1, 2, and 3 notches?
I'd like label each notch in degrees.

Thanks!

I haven't measured them but have you thought about why you want to mark them in degrees? Does it matter if notch 1 is 15 degrees, 17, or 12? It's not like an electric flap system where you can infinatly adjust them. I just marked my notches as 1 2 and 3. When flying you only need to know what notch you are in. It doesn't matter what degree that equates to.

I think mine came out to 8, 18, and 28 degrees per a digital protractor. That's what I labeled them.

It's personal preference on what to call them...:)

I just labeled mine 10, 20 and 30, regardless of what they really are. But those numbers are close to what Kip measured.
