Usage instructions
When Bank Switch is activated all parameters have to be set in the software. This also includes the gains that usually are set with the 3 dials on the device as well as the tail gyro gain. There is one exception: the AttitudeControl gain can be still controlled by a separate switch channel. Only when no additional channel was assigned in FUNCTIONS MENU, you have to set the AttitudeGain for each Bank in the software and the selected AttitudeMode will be activated depending on the amount of gain.
The dials do not have any functionality anymore, the gyro gain channel now is used to switch between the banks. When the gyro channel is in center position Bank 2 is active, when the gyro channel is moved to positive direction Bank 1 is active, and when its moved to negative direction Bank 3 is active.
| Menu-LED (Bank) | A H (Bank 1) | D K (Bank 2) | G N (Bank 3) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rudder channel | > +35% | -35% to +35% | < -35% |
Please note that the values may vary slightly, actually there is a little range around center position so you do not have to set the gyro channel to exactly 0% to activate bank 2. Also the signs may be interchanged depending on the type of radio system used. Anyhow, you can see in the Software/App which Bank is active at the moment as well as you can read the current bank from the display. Each time you change the Bank the Menu LEDs will light up for 4 seconds and will indicate like a little bar which Bank is selected: bar on top is Bank 1, bar in the middle is Bank 2, bar at the bottom is Bank 3.

| Bank 1 is indicated by LEDs AH | Bank 2 is indicated by LEDs DK | Bank 3 is indicated by LEDs GN |
Following the Bank display you will see the AttitudeControl display for additional 4 seconds. When LED A flashes AttitudeControl is off, otherwise one of the Menu LEDs B - N shows the amount of AttitudeControl gain, see AttitudeControl instructions for further informations.
In order to use bank switching in flight either you can assign a 3 - position switch on your transmitter to the gyro channel (which is used for bank switching now) and select banks randomly or you can link the gyro channel with you flight mode switch, so that the parameter banks are set automatically for each flight mode.
