Thats how I do it as well. I guess I have never bothered to test it to find out. It almost acts like your plane battery power is turning off at that point. I thought there was some information about that receiver taking five seconds to rebind, so I am wondering if it would reset all control surfaces in five seconds, and if you have waited that long. Also, I know Horizon will reprogram those for free so it will rebind very quickly. On a more positive note, I have never had a spectrum receiver loose a bind so hopefully it wont matter. I checked the manual and it sounds like you are doing everything right. I think you may need some Horizon help on this one.

Best regards,
