Frank,
How do you slew to the first star after a cold start?
Do you manually slew to it or do you select an object from the hand controller and issue a goto command?
If you manually slew and then synchronise it will not do anything as it needs to know what it is you are pointing at.
If you command a goto to an object in the Eastern sky and then command a goto to an object in the Western sky - both well away from the meridian - the mount should perform a flip to do this.

My tests are done inside. I hope this is what you mean. Using only the HC from a cold star at CWD, I slewed to a bright star and synced. Then I took the attached.
After this, I connected on the PC and checked the planetarium - and they agree with where the scope is pointing.
Then via the HC went to just over the meridian ( tried various spots ) and tried to meridian flip at them - all failed.
