Every flight or sequence is a trim flight in my book.

edit- if you are like me and end up settling with some pitch mix, Futaba has a brilliant "Expo" mix!!! I have often found that I may end up with 2-4% needed! but with + 60% expo. This makes the mix happen closer to neutral on the rudder stick, where as a pure linear mix would need a huge number to have any action around neutral.
Jim, I'm using a Jeti DS-16 now but as I remember Futaba also allows you to mix with a multi point "line" curve. I think you will find it more brilliant as you can adjust the points for amplitude and stick position. And you can reverse the slopes if you need to, that is, less mix at large inputs. Let me know what you think.
