Default 12x programing: how to set op with 6 aileron and 4 elevator servos

Hello all
I have the new 12x and need programing advice. I will be using this radio in a Comp-ARF 3.3m yak with 6 aileron and 4 elevator servos, 1 seko for rudder. I have managed to get the servos all mixed and working great BUT the 2 extra elevator and 2 extra aileron servos that were mixed will not trim with the other sevos. So triming the plane is impossible. I know I must have done something wrong.
Here is the setup
Channel
1 throttle
2 right aileron 1
3 right elevator1
4 rudder
5 left aileron 1
6 left elevator 1
7 right aileron 2
8 left aileron 2
9 aux 4 right elevator 2
10 aux 5 left elevator 2
11 aux6 right aileron 3
12 aux7 left aileron 3
Please any help would be appreaciated

i thought i had heard there was an error in the way the aileron servo's would gang together in the new 12x. i'm sorry if i'm wrong but i thought possibly wayne geffon had explained it to a friend ( tony vitelo aka aviti on FG) at a contest ..fwiw

Steve,

Balance function when using 4 total aileron servos.
If the ail servos are plugged into the channels the manual states the balance function will adjust both right wing servos. Not one servo on each wing as needed.

Software change I am told is in the works.

To use the balance function just use the RAIL1 and LAIL1 on the same wing panel and RAIL2 and LAIL2 on the other wing panel. As for mixing when not using the mate function and you need trims make sure on the Mix you use a master with a +. The + means Trim inclusive. You only have Mix 1-4 for trim inclusive.
