Default dx 7 servos hard over on startup

I have a spectrum dx 7 installed in my airplane, it works great except for at start up, a few of the servos go hard over to one side, it makes my choke servo gears skip teeth. I am new to this radio, i didnt see anything in the manual about setting failsafes or that sort of thing, is there anything i can do about this?

Make sure all switches, control sticks etc are where you want them at power-up, and then re-bind. When in doubt, always re-bind!! I hope this helps. let us know if it solves the problem...

He's right! Now that you have the settings set where you want them, re-Bind. When you reverse a servo and that sort of thing, you have to re-bind so the startup settings know that as soon as the radio hooks up.

Re-Bind!

Analog servos by any chance?

Rebinding will usually fix it but some analogs do it anyways.

Do you turn the TX on first and then the RX? And you should set the failsafes. Problem is DX7 only has failsafe on throttle. Pretty skimpy for a 7 channel radio.

It's a great little radio for the price. In fact, when bound it DOES remember the servo reversals, which of course are the most common causes of the servo hard-over complaint.
