servos surge on power up
I have 4 Optima 7 and 3 optima 6. On 1 of each, when i turn the receiver switch on, the servos all jump to one extreme and then go back to center. Transmitter is always on and broadcasting first. The other receivers don't have this quirk. Just wondering why those 2 do that, and should i be worried. They perform perfect after start up, but this has alwaays bothered me. I have re linked them and they continue to do it. Any idea why this happens and should I be concerned.
thanks
steve
