Default RE: Question about AR9000/DM9 Module

Dave,
The are two different ways to bind the AR9000. I suggest the second version in the manual which then works like the PCM fail safe.
Insert the binding plug, power up the RX the lights should be blinking, then remove the binding plug, the lights will still be blinking.
On the TX set all the functions in the position you prefer, Hold in the binding button on the module and power up the TX and wait for the RX's to bind. Now all the servos will go to the failsafe postion you had the TX functions set to.
It has worked flawless for me to date.

I have a quick question about the AR9000 rx that I have been using with the DM9 module in my JR10X.

Everything is working perfectly and has been since I have installed it, but it does this weird thing when I turn it on, as it arms, that has me slightly concerned. With my Tx on, I turn on my rx and the flap/aileron/stab/rudder servos go to full stop then return to neutral as it arms. I showed this to Joe McBride at Fresno Jets and he suggested that I re-bind my tx/rx. I got lazy and never did it at the jet show for him to help me. Now I am taking the rx out of my SuperHornet and installing it into Ali's JMP T-33. I re-bound the rx/tx as suggested and it still does the same thing. Now let me remind everyone that my unit works flawless and the data from the flight log has been superb, my question is asking if anyone has seen this happen and what am I doing wrong, if anything, with my install. My question is really for the JR/Spektrum guy's but just in case anyone else has experienced this, I would love to hear about a quick fix.
Thank you in advance,
Dave

BTW my install components are:
Dual 1800 ni-cad batteries
Dual JR switches
