FIXRO Throw Meter – RC Fixed-Wing Inclinometer & Aileron Angle Meter

Overview

The FIXRO Throw Meter is a compact inclinometer designed for RC fixed-wing planes. It helps hobbyists and builders gauge aileron angles with clear, reliable readings, supporting careful setup and tuning of aerodynamics and control response. Constructed for field and workshop use, this tool blends precision with portability, making it a practical addition to your RC toolkit.

Why this tool can be helpful for RC enthusiasts

Each session of model aircraft setup benefits from precise angle data. The Throw Meter offers a balanced combination of accessibility and accuracy, allowing you to check and compare measurements on different flights or configurations. It is especially useful during initial setups, mid-season adjustments, or after repairs where confirming correct aileron travel matters for predictable handling.

The device features a protected clamping area and a slim, durable build that fits neatly into a field toolbox. While it does not promise any guaranteed performance outcomes, users may find it easier to align their control surfaces with confidence when consistent readings are available from a compact, purpose-built instrument.

Key features and benefits

• Rugged CNC aluminum alloy body paired with durable plastic, offering a lightweight yet sturdy profile.
• Angle measurement range of 0–50 degrees, covering the full spectrum needed for aerobatic and precision setups.
• Two-sided readouts allow you to verify measurements from different perspectives with reduced errors.
• A soft sponge is integrated inside the jaws to help protect delicate rudder surfaces during clamping.
• Low weight (46 g) supports convenient field usage without adding noticeable bulk to your gear.

Practical use cases

In the workshop or on the field, this tool helps you dial in accurate aileron travel, verify mirror-like readouts on both sides, and confirm that adjustments align with your aircraft’s intended flight characteristics. Its simple design encourages repeatable checks during tuning sessions and after component changes.

Designed for DIY enthusiasts and serious hobbyists alike, the FIXRO Throw Meter is a dependable companion for model designers, builders, and maintenance checks, enabling you to approach setup tasks with a clearer reference point while conserving time and effort.
