Default How to set up chipmunk?

Hello all,

I have a CG Super Chip that is almost ready for covering, I'm to the balancing stages now. My question is this: I have a 6 channel Futaba radio and I have the plane set up with dual aileron servos and flaps. The instructions for my transmitter seem like they want you to set up for dual aileron servos (and flaperons) OR true flaps. They have channel 5 as the landing gear servo, my current thought is to put ailerons on 1 and 6 like normal and then put flaps into channel 5 and just use the landing gear switch for flaps. The only problem with this is I don't know if I can use the flap trim function on my radio this way. Is this the best way? What about using a Y harness for the two aileron servos and putting them both into channel 1? Thoughts?
