I ran into this the other day setting up a new heli. Thought I would post incase others have this problem.
I was using the dsc cord setting up a heli. I have the servo neutral function on and was setting up linkage's. My timer on my radio turns it off after 10 mins of no movment. I just finished making the last link when radio timed out. It was late so I packed up transmitter to get ready to fly my foamy the next day. When I turned on radio to fly, selecting the foamy program. I cycled power( not that its needed just what I do).
I plugged in foamy battery, all centered and speed controll beeped but didnt arm. No servo movment as all. I checked everything I could think of.
Was getting pissed. Went home to check Freestyle, same thing all centered but no servo movement. Thought I was going to have a major issue with transmitter right before an event( Mulberry). After thinking about it for some time I checked servo screen. It said that neutral function was off. I turned it on and off again and everything worked fine on all models. I found it to be strange that this could happen. And really strnge that it would affect all models, even after power cycles.

Rodney, thanks for the info. I've never run into this as I use a separate condition to handle "servo" centering. Good to know, though just in case it does happen some day. You may want to send Bill Baxter an email about this or post it over at RCUniverse ( http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_125/tt.htm )
