While I agree that the trims don't mix this is not an insurmountable
problem. If the model is straight then the amount of trim required will
be very small so just one aileron moving will certainly make the model
flyable until landing. Once landed measure the amount of deflection of
the one aileron divide by two and set that into the subtrim of chanel 1
and 5. After a few flights the trims should be set ok and no more trim
will be required.
