Jan,
You only require 1 channel to run the gyro. You may be 'over thinking' it all.
You need a 3 position switch if you want to use both banks (Or 2 different gains in the same bank) AND have an 'off' switch. For example:
Switch position A = OFF,
Switch position B = Bank 1
Switch position C = Bank 2
You could also just use one bank. For example:
Switch position A = OFF,
Switch position B = Bank 1 (20% Gain)
Switch position C = Bank 1 (40% Gain)
It's completely up to you. If you only plan on using 1 bank and you don't need 2 different gain settings, then you could just use a 2 position switch. For example:
Switch position A = OFF,
Switch position B = Bank 1
You mention above that you can't turn it off??? Check your servo travel page on your TX that it is actually going to 0 (zero). Anything other than zero, will mean the gyro is on.
Also, If you are interested in changing the gain whilst flying, you need to setup a switch which changes the travel on your GYRO CHANNEL.
Clear as mud????
