This is absolutely not true the receiver needs to be powered up with the bind plug installed. Then either ( depending on transmitter } hold in the bind button while powering up the radio or go into the menu and select bind.
Or are you stating with the receiver powered up already and inserting the bind plug will not go into bind mode.
I have various DSMX DSM2 ( different manufacture's ) around 80 of them and there is not one that does not failsafe to throttle off and controls hold last position IF i do not set my own failsafe. So I am not understanding some of your comments.
Or I may be confused of what you are saying.

It must be in the documentation of the receiver. I would assume that most receivers use the same method to set the "failsafe". I'll take a look.
Is this more or less correct?
1. Put bind plug on receiver
2. Power up receiver (shows blinking light)
3. Set controls into "failsafe" position on transmitter (throttle down, slight left rudder)
4. Power up transmitter with bind switch on
5. Receiver binds and initializes
6. Remove bind plug
Done
I realize that it all depends on the brand of receiver and transmitter. But, am I close?
