I was flying this weekend and found that after playing with things behind the instrument panel (Changed out the Altimeter for a better quality and sensitive Kohlsman) I must have somehow broke the stall/gear Buzzer.

However when flying with the gear retracted and reducing throttle to idle I get this horiffic feed back in my headset that is impossible to ignore, even though the buzzer does not make noise in the cockpit.

I was wondering if that is unintentional feed back into my radio system or a designed feature?

I also noticed that in bright sunlight I can not tell if the warning lights are on, and plan to replace them with superbright bezzeled LED's.

I'm loving the way this RF4D flies and will need to go for Aerobatic training soon as it just inspires you to want to manuever.

I do have a slight left roll when I let go of the stick and noticed that the left spoiler sticks up about 1/4 " above the wing surface and might be the cause of the roll.

Is there a way to adjust the spoiler height?

I wonder what folks do when setting the engine to idle when trying to soar?

Can't have that buzzer making noise the whole time?

I was thinking replacing the buzzer with a peizo beeper and adding a defeat switch to turn it off when soaring.
