Default Slave channel has no trim function..??!!

Please help me on this:
Futaba T8FG + R617FS in a twin engine airplane. Two separate servos connected to its respective engine carb. Program Mix #1 activated to move the two throttles with channel 3 as Master and channel 5 as Slave.
Managed to get both servos/throttles to move in unison by Program Mix #1..great so far.! Prog.Mix 2/2 shows: Master Trim ON but Slave has no Trim position..?
Trim function is OK on Master channel 3. BUT: trim function is nonfunctional on Slave channel 5..! WHY..?? How can I activate slave ch.5 trim to get both servos/channels/carbs to move in unison also from the channel 3 trim button..?? Please help me out....THANK YOU in advance..!
Regards/Harald

Problem solved..! I needed two nights to "sleep over it" and suddenly this morning I got the idea to move to the FUNCTION menu. And YES indeed what was missing was to assign the trim function which was a blank on page 2/2. After assigning T3 TRIM to channel 5 it WORKS...BINGO..!
