Default Super8 5 Point mixing, how do you link the trim????

I want to use the 5 point mix on my Futaba Super 8 to program my 2 tail mounted elevator servos. The 5 point mix will give me 5 points of control over the travel of the servo to compensate for any differential (mechanical or in the servo). But there is no trim link on the 5 point mixers (mix 6 and 7) like there are in the standard mixers (mix 1-4). Kinda kills the idea because only my master servo moves with trim). Is the trim link hidden somewhere, or there a work around using a normal mixer in conjunction?

Thanks!

Sorry, Nick, can't do it. There is no trim in the curve mixes.

You might try using the regular ailevator function and then do a channel 8 to channel 8 curve mix that makes your minor adjustments to the 2nd servo.

I personally select half a dozen servos and test them on the bench together until i get the 2 that are the closest possible match in travel and speed.
