I have a multiplex cularis glider which tends to tip stall easily, so the fix is to put both ailerons up just a bit at low speed (washout). This makes the wing a bit less efficient, but also ensures that it won't tip stall.

My ailerons are on channel 1 and 5 but when I raise them a bit, that's fine in manual mode, but any auto mode will notice the right aileron going up (channel 1) and will
1) raise right aileron further
2) lower left aileron to opposite
3) turn rudder to turn the plane right

In other words, it sees right aileron/channel 1 go right, and turn right.
This makes sense but this totally screws up my aileron washout command and makes the plane turn when my control sticks are straight (which APM Plane can't know because it only receives mixed channels).
I have RC5_FUNCTION set to 18.

Is there a mode where auto modes can detect that RC1 and RC5 are both controlled to go up or down from the remote, and cancel that input as far as turns are concerned?
Basically it should compute RC1-RC5 and use that as a turn indication.

I looked at flaperon1 and flaperon2 options, but those seem to be different from what I'm trying to do if I understood correctly (and they don't seem to support one flaperon being the aileron on channel1 it seems since they seem to require 2 flaperons on channels 5 and above from what I read, so I'm kind of confused on how that's even supposed to work).

Thanks for any help and suggestions.
