Eagleeye 0 #1 April 1, 2016 I just viewed a video titled"Jumping From A Pitts Special" in the video section. What is that located on the wing? I'm guessing pitch/roll indicator? Pic attached. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMK 3 #2 April 1, 2016 It's visual cue for the pilot to use while doing aerobatics. For example he can quickly see that he is on a 45 degree angle against the horizon."Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 261 #3 April 1, 2016 Yes it's a 'sighting device'. Common on aerobatic aircraft. Especially useful for competition, where maneuvers in many of the programs are from a catalog and involve 45 degree, or 90 degree pitch attitudes, and any deviation from that gets penalized in the scoring.
