what is that thing sticking out of the wings???

[Flarpt]

Not knowing what the heck it is, or how to describe it or what its function could possibly be I can find no smart way to ask what the heck it is☺

 

When you are sitting in the cockpit and you look left there is that odd "Astric" looking thing on a stick protruding from the spar between those left-hand wings...

 

WTH is it and what does it do please☺?

 

I mean, why on the left and not the right, and why wouldn't they even mention the most oddball feature in the tutorials☺?

 

Thank you ahead of time.

It's to determine the angle off the horizon during aerobatics.

THANK YOU☺!

 

I was wondering if it had to do with horizon angle, but am so used to the older fighter jets just having the delineations hash-marked on the canopy that I could not accept one physically modeled and suspended from between the wings like that.

The link really helped too.

It's described in the manual starting on page 29.
