I have a DX7 with AR7000 installed in a stock 450 SE V2. On power up, I sometimes see the remote receiver light on solid while the AR7000 light is flashing as if it is not bound to the transmitter. I get this behavior as soon as I connect the battery at odd times. Durning this condition, I have no control over the heli. The receiver is dead.
I never have had a drop out after the heli powers up properly.
The recovery is to unplug the battery, turn off the radio, turn it back on, reconnect the battery half a dozen times and eventually, it powers up normally. I have tried to find a procedure that works every time but I cannot. I have tried to pin it down on a particular switch configuration but I cannot. I have rebound the transmitter at least three times but the problems still occurs.
Has anyone seen this problem and if so, what was the solution or what else should I check. It seems to be a random. I do not have an on/off switch on the receiver. I just power up the Align ESC which supplies power to the receiver. Is this OK?
Thanks for the help, my first heli - just starting to hover after 2 months on the sim.
