Bank with permanent active Stabi Mode assigned

Dear Spirit Team

I would like to see the possibility to assign a permanent active stabi Mode to specific Bank.

Use case:
I like to fly Bank 0 / 1 with gyro gain from TX (adjust for different rpm) and use negative gain to select rescue acro.
While I use Bank 2 on teacher setup in Stabilization Mode with my little kids.

Currently on my DX9 I have to work with lots of mixers on different activation as well as limiting max range on Gyro channel.
Implementation: Bank 0/1 inverting Gyro with two mixers, by activating rescue switch. 2x (GER->GYR -100% / 0 / active on A I)
If Bank 2 is selected, inverting Gyro permanent, by Activation on Switch E Position 2 (my Bank Switch)
But by pushing Rescue Button A while running on Bank 2, negative value gets doubled, I had to limit gyro range under Servos Setting to not over gain rudder, causing oscillation.

As you see, there is allays a workaround, but requested functionality would make things a lot easier to switch in between different Stabi modes.
As these Stabi Modes really work great on Spirit, I would like to see improvements on ease of use.
All required would be a tick-box in Stabi mode tab to select it permanent or on negative Gyro Gain.

Please reply, if you think this would be useful as well.

And it should actually be quite easy to implement by allowing negative values in the Rudder common gain...

I'm picking up this again.....

As I'm using my Copter for teaching newbies and for my own fun, I would like to have:
Bank (0) for Teaching first hoover => Stabi Coax permanent (neg Gyro)
Bank (1) for Teaching Basics => Stabi Normal permanent (neg Gyro)
Bank (2) for 3D => Rescue on Demand (pos Gyro, neg on Panic Button)

Well this can be achieved with advanced Mixers in TX changing Gain based on Bank selector, things would be a lot easier if preset could be selected in Stabi.
Cooco suggested negative Gain, this would do perfect and I like it, but for most users to hard to understand. Changing Common Gain in Sensor-Tap to invert Stabi activation...

1) I suggest a selector in Stabi where user can select "Active on neg Gyro Value" or "Active on positiv Gyro Value"
2) I also suggest an indication, if Stabi is currently active of not. Think of Coax or Scale where activation on ground can hardly be seen.
