Problem With Breaking Ground Robotic Parts

[jurat817]

Has anyone had an issue with the robotic parts not saving their settings between loading the craft?

If I set the hinges to locked with the motor disabled, as soon as I go to the space center and then return the craft they are reset to unlocked and enabled. Also, the traverse rate setting, which I have set to 1.0, does not seem to stick. When I re-adjust the target angle to get them to lock back into the position I want them, the default traverse rate of 90 is used, causing my craft to tumble chaotically as the hinged arms thrash around.

Could a mod be resetting these parts each time the craft is loaded?

I've encountered something like that in 1.8.1 on a mining base I have on Minmus and I've seen at least one other post of a similar problem in 1.9.1. 

Robotic fuel arm stowed (this is from a test on Kerbin, but it clearly shows the stowed position with everything locked)

Landing a crew at the Minmus base.  The arm was stowed & locked when I landed the base, but as the crew lander comes into physics range, the arm is laying collapsed on the ground
