Weird trim response

[ush]

I came up with using the switches on the throttle quadrant for trim, not ideal but there you go

Actually here's a question for you good people:

I have the following hardware at my disposal:

X45
X52 (not the pro edition)
Saitek pedals
Saitek flight yoke and throttle quadrant

How would you go about setting up your controls with the above?

Given that my dilemma is that I would like my trim inputs on sliders where I can see 'em at a glance, and my radiators on rotaries (possibly my supercharger too, I guess)
