Brief Description:  radio and trutrak adjustments

During the last taxi, I did a radio check with unicom and could barely here their response. The volume knob made no volume changes at all. So with the garmin sl40 books in hand, I sat in the plane and went thru all the menue items. Turns out the headset setting was on a minimal setting. I changed to 000 for volume to adjust with the control knob. That did the trick.

I never went thru the set up menue in the tru trak so with that book handy I went thru that sep wise. I also never checked the pitch function. I knew that it would operate but I didnt check the function as per the before flight check out. I did so and found that it works except the altidued change knob works in reverse. Turning the left knob clockwise should cause an altitude gain and mine does an altitude decent. So I have to access the 25 pin serial connector to fix that. The final check was to center pitch so that the elevator was neutral and then raise and lower the tail a foot or so. I did that and noted that the pitch servo sensed the change and would adjust as designed. Thats good!
