When you set up the quad in Vehicle set up wizard. Which aircraft type did you pick.
There are three ZMR250 set ups, I think the middle one is the correct one for a 3S setup.
The banks are changed by a three position switch on your radio.
When you went through the TX setup menu, it will have asked you to chose your flight mode switch.
This will be used to change your banks.
Banks are basically three different flight set ups, that you can switch between during flight.
You can have them set up for different reasons.
1) To test different PID setting, say you have your PIDs close but not perfect, you can run the close set up in bank 1, then use bank 2 and 3 to make some fine adjustments. If they don't seem to help, just flick back to bank 1 and continue to fly that pack with the close settings.
2) You can have them set up for different conditions. higher PIDs for calm conditions, and lower for strong winds.
For more in depth info, go to the Open Pilot Wiki page. All the info you would ever need is there

So you match the banks to the flight modes? I currently set up 1 as attitude, 2 as attitude + cruise control, and 3 as rattitude.
So would I then need to adjust those banks to correspond to the three flight modes? As it says to raise the rate max and general stick movements for the rattitude to work right. This stuff is confusing lol.
Also how much should I lower the P down at a time for tuning?

Ok so I see how to assign the banks to the mode switch!!!! Yay! However I can't get the advanced setting to stick. It always goes back to unchecked. It shows as checked and it shows it saves ok but if I reload or disconnect and reconnect it shows advanced unchecked. I will attach my settings and see if you can make heads or tails
I did select the middle ZMR250 as it seemed closest.

Checking the Advanced menu is just a safety thing, so you don't do it accidentally.
Changing the settings in Advance, is the same as changing them in Basic, just with more options.
Change the P gain in advanced and then flick back to basic, you will see it has changed there too
How many points to change at a time depends on the severity of the wobble.
If its really bad, come down by 10 to 20 points or so. As you get closer come down a couple of points at a time.
If the pitch is ok, then untick the link roll and pitch box, so you are only adjusting the roll.
At the moment its at 300 on the P gain. I'd bring it down to 250 and go from there.
I think I actually ended up at 220 or something like that.

Hey Lee did you get a chance to look at the video and new PID's I posted at the bottom of the last page?
It looks like your Integral is too high.
Try dropping it to 450 on roll axis.
