## Bug report
### Issue details
Please describe the problem
https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/everytime-i-reboot-servo-3-and-4-change-to-tiltmotorfront-right-left/143041
I change servo 3 and 4 to disabled - but when I reboot, they are set to TiltMotorFront (right/left).
To be more clear, rebooting does NOT change the servo outputs, but power cycling DOES.
**Version**
4.6.3, 4.7.x beta, and tried all the way back to v4.2.x(?) - two different flight controllers.
**Platform**
[ ] All
[ ] AntennaTracker
[ ] Copter
[ X ] Plane
[ ] Rover
[ ] Submarine
**Airframe type**
_What type of airframe (flying wing, glider, hex, Y6, octa etc)_
I’m building a 2-motor, non-vectored tailsitter.
**Hardware type**
_What autopilot hardware was used? (Pixhawk, Cube, Pixracer, Navio2, etc)_
Kakute F7 (non, AIO), and Pixhawk v1.1

Research direction
Start with the linked discussion and reproduce the behavior by power cycling the Kakute F7 and Pixhawk v1.1 on the reported Plane versions. No source file or test is named; the issue is done when Servo 3 and 4 remain disabled after a power cycle on the affected non-vectored VTOL setup.
