    Needed for what? What boat? What speed? Hot tight do you want to turn?

    For oval racing monos I usually set between 1/2” to 3/8” each side measured at the back edge of the rudder. You could start there....

          Speeds and driver style is how I see it. My boats that are set for oval race laps use / need very little throw something like 40%. Big wide high speed corners need very little. My other play boats = slower corners, driven like a nut drunkin sailor need more rudder, in this case more is better.
          If its jest a play boat you can change it to suit your mood, want to go fast dial it down, want to drive like a nut leave it full?
