I learned to lip trill while playing the Effie Suite By Alec Wilder. What my teacher told me to do, as well as another player in the studio, was to make it an extremely wide and fast vibrato, assuming you use your lips/jaw to do vibrato. It takes like you said tons of air to control it, but that's how I do it and I practice doing it with different intervals, larger and smaller to build control. This is similar to the trumpet player's version, so I hope he doesn't get a big head... not that trumpet players get those or anything, heh.
