Actually, didn't we determine that it is in fact a rudder trim control
indicator (i.e. indicates where the control currently is within its full
throw)? By way of contrast, I believe that the Cessna electric flap position
indicator is actually attached to a cable on the flap, so that the position
indicated reflects the actual flap position, regardless of where one positions
the flap actuator ("she sells sea shells..."). Of course those that know how
the Cessna mechanism works will understand why it has to be that way.
