Default Flight Modes and throttle trim

I have a couple of questions regarding a SD 10G concerning flight modes. I fly both jets and glow/gas airplanes and have just started to use flight modes. Is there any way to make the throttle common for flight modes when the aileron, elevator and rudder are set for separate trim for each flight mode? I have the flight modes coupled to a three way switch with flaps so I can trim the plane for each flap position. In other words I can trim the plane while flying for each flight mode (no flaps, partial flaps and full flaps). The problem is with the turbines they shut down when the throttle trim low and the throttle is pulled back. If I do not remember to set the throttle trim high for each flight condition the turbine shuts down on approach if I pull back to idle. This is common for approaches with turbines. Bottom line: I want to be able to adjust the trim for elevator, rudder, ailerons for each flight mode but maintain the throttle trim the same for all three flight modes. I cannot find any way to do this in the manual. Once the trim is set for separate for the flight modes it is separate for all three. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
