You don't seperate the channels.  You feed the mixed signal to the aileron
motor.  A roll will create a signal that will generate an opposing roll
command.  A yaw will create a signal that will generate a roll command to the
aileron motor to generate a turn in the direction opposite to the yaw.  It works
quite well in practice.  You can also add an error signal from the Nav radio to
provide heading corrections.
