QUESTION ABOUT BANKS SWITCHING ON DX8

pabloK · Sat 28. Feb 2015 15:08:05

Hi

I m new for spirit FBL. I think first unit in URUGUAY (South America).
I installed it on a new TREX 600L

I made some flights and works fantastic, I will post videos and images soon

Only thing is that I cant use the banks, I cant select any bank, it is always on bank 0 and as grey, not selectable.

I am using rescue acro with DX8 spektrum

thanks for any help

Hi,

welcome to our forum!

To enable banks, you have to go in the software to the General tab, then Channels and then select Channel 7 for Banks function.
Now you have to save the settings and select the 3-state switch in your transmitter that will change the banks (channel 7).
In the diagnostics tab you should see change when you are switching.

Remember that while software is running bank switching is performed via the software. When it is not running bank switching is performed from your transmitter.

Thank you

It is possible to use one channel with 3 position for banks and another channel for the rescue function?

Thanks

Yes, this is exactly behavior that is used by default.
Rescue is normally activated with Gyro channel while banks are switched with channel 7.

Hi

Works great without any problem

What do you think are good values to start with in each Bank ?
I am leraning to fly my first maneuvers like funnel, hurricane and tic tocs, all in a F3C style flight mode
I have configured in a two position button the rescue NORMAL mode

Thank you very much again

Hi,

mostly it is not necessary to change values between banks at all. If you fly with one settings your learning curve is faster.

You can just try what is the best for you, especially rotation speed (Sensor tab). It shouldn't be too fast or too slow. Mostly values around 10 are fine.

If you can fly inverted, it is better to enable Rescue (Acro).
