You would need to do programming like a heli, and have each "flight mode" have different trim, that is unless you want your elevator trim to change when switching from one to another.

Personally, I wouldn't do this, as its a lot of added weight, and generally, an airplane flies precision well enough with a 3D CG to do a freestyle. So for me, I would rather just change the CG between precision/freestyle flights if I had to use 1 airplane (I move the batteries versus add weight to the tail to keep the airplane light). The best option is 2 but that obviously costs a lot more.
