Default Spektrum systems "jerks" when turned on

Hi All,

Finally got my new Spektrum radio, only problem is that when I turn it on the servos "jerk" for a second during the boot up, with most of them moving and a couple channels going through the full range of motion. AR-6000 receiver, and it does it whether it's on a separate battery or off a Lipo motor battery.


Any thoughts??



TIA,

Steve

The Spektrum system goes into Failsafe upon BootUp, for a brief second. This is true for the JR 2.4, as well.
I once thought about setting the Failsafe for Retracts, on a Spektrum equipped aircraft, to Retracts Up. When I would Boot the Tx and Rx, the gear would cycle. Only way to prevent this was to set the Failsafe for Retracts, to Down.

That's exactly the problem I was having, the gear would cycle and I was worried.


THANKS!!!

Set the transmitter up like you want it then rebind the receiver.

Set the transmitter up like you want it then rebind the receiver.

exactly, Once you are finished with setting everything up do a final rebind and it will almost eliminate any servo movements at startup.
