Default full house sailplane servo setup?

I'm a new enthusiast to RC sailplanes. I'm building a non motorized Pelican "Grace" sailplane at the moment. I'm not sure how to set up the servos on the wings. It has 4 servos, one on each aileron and one on each flap. I have a new "Spektrum 6 channel radio. the transmitter book shows one aileron plugs into the "aile channel. It states that if two ailerons are used to plug the other one into the "aux/flap"#6 channel. That leaves 4 channels marked "thr","ele","rud" and "ger". Where would I plug into the reciever to utilize the flaps on the sailplane??? I have one "Y" harness which I think could connect both ailerons to the one aile plug but then limits the set up options. Should I have purchased a 7 channel radio or is there another way to wire this to take advantage of all the control options this ship has. I'm starting with very little knowledge of the "plumbing" aspects of wiring. I know.. I know...... I should have started out with a simple rudder elevator ship but I fell in love with the Pelican Grace and I do not plan to solo this plane without some help and alot of instruction. Any help would be appreciated.
