The idea is great but not the way I want to take this. I want to go the dial route.
And yes this will more than likely fix the stock stadimeter problem also.

EDIT:

just confirmed that it fixed the stock stadimeter bug also. You have to set the correct mast height in the mast height dial first and then you can use either the notepads stadimeters or the stock XO stadimeter to get range readings.

Thats ok, yes the range is a bit limited - basically 2 feet to the degree.
If you want I can redo it to have a greater range 180 degrees would give 1 meter every 3 degrees.
