For half step trills, find a fingering for the lower note that uses second valve. Wiggle it. For whole step trills, find a fingering for the lower note that has the closest to a whole step above it without a change of fingerings, and that's your lip trill fingering. As far as I know, on an F/Bb horn the lowest note that doesn't have a half-step trill fingering is the G below the treble clef, and the lowest reasonable whole-step trill is second-line E, fingered 1, 2 and 3 on F horn.
