Help! Flaperons in 14MZ

Hello there!!

I have this motor glider (1 servo for each aileron) that I used to fly with a 9C using Flaperons + Airbrake so I could use flaps too.
I followed Futaba's guide so I set it up for 2 stage flaps (off, 15% and 40%) and it's all working. The only problem is that both ailerons are slightly up when flaps are turned off. Just a little bit over the wing, but too much to correct using subtrims.

In the 9C I could use Flap-Trim so I could tell the ailerons to be at the level of the wing when no flaps are applied, but I just can't find where to do it in the 14MZ.

So.. does anyone have set up a plane like this and could please write me a step by step way to center my ailerons?
Thank you very much!!

use your control rods to trim it to center

I can't do that
This wing has internal servos and the pushrods are soldered. I really would prefer not having to open the wing. There should be a software way to correct this.

if the offset is too much for subtrim then you will have to remove the servo arm and reinstall on a different spline then fine tune it with subtrim

That's what I was affraid to hear (read)
It will be a pain in the *** unmounting all the wing. Why did Futaba remove the Flap-Trim option? That was sooooooooooo good

Before doing anything drastic I would post your question to Bill Baxter over on the 14MZ forum as well. I would be surprised if its missing, its just more than likely hidden in this case.

look in the AFR and see if there is an Offset functionality you can use. you can see the graph move when you work it.
MAke sure to try and offset the flap channel or maybe each aileron channel?
