Default spektrum rx delay causing gyro to go into programming mode or something?

I have a new quark on my 450 pro and it was working fine. I got new cyclic servo's and rewired everything and now when I power up the quark intitalizes but there's like a 5 second delay before the rx binds which causing the quark to unbind or something? The light starts blinking. I will just rebind it but it's wired so tight right now will the last of my mail-order color matching zip-tie's so I hate to cut them all open to put bind plug in. I'm using stock align 35 amp pro esc. What could be causing this long delay and why is it unbinding my esc?

Nevermind, I just rebound it and it's fine? Idk why that happened but if anyone else has this problem that's how to fix it.

Good to hear that its working now, but at first I was wondering if there was an issue with your new servos---perhaps drawing more current than the old ones. That could conceivably draw down the BEC voltage.

But if it is ok now, then great!

Sometimes if you have the Tx too close to the Rx on power up (meter or less), that can cause a delay in connection.

All said and done, your Quark should wait for a signal from the Rx before it initializes. I have a feeling that the flashing LED was not the gyro entering programming mode, but rather an error message, probably the slow red flash indicating no signal recieved from the Rx- consult your manual if in doubt.
