Description
My question/problem statement is an inconvenience that I am experiencing in 3.4. I am experiencing a different sequence of outputs during boot between 3.3 and 3.4, mainly landing gear cycling. My craft is stored with the gear in the up position. upon power up (3.3), the gear deploys (<2sec) then I set the craft down, the board calibrates and I can arm and fly. In 3.4, the board wants to be steady first, calibrates, then deploys the gear. My problem is not picking the craft up simultaneously to gear deployment, damaging my gear servos. Please let me know what considerations I should make or possible solutions, Im hoping to use 3.4, for the tail compensation for tricopters. Thank you for your time.

Research direction
The report identifies ArduPilot 3.4.6 on a PixHawk tricopter and describes a boot-time landing-gear sequence, but names no Mission Planner file, entry point, or test. Start by determining whether the behavior belongs to Mission Planner or the flight-controller firmware, then reproduce the 3.3 and 3.4 sequences; done requires an agreed fix or documented configuration/workaround verified on the stated hardware.
