Dear pilots,
in general i know how to do Radio and ESC calibration and i did it several times in the past.
However, there is a small detail regarding throttle.
On my TX i have a slider, which allows to trim throttle. I'm wondering how to set the slider when calibrating. Should i set the throttle trim slider to min, max or neutral?
What are your recommendations?
Do i need for Radio and ESC calibration the same throttle trim slider settings?

Always set with trims in the middle! That's the entire point of trim, to allow you to adjust after it's calibrated just like a real world mechanical setup. If you calibrate at any other position you limit how much "room" you have to trim.
Your throttle should never be trimmed after setup. It should be low enough to be below the ESC's minimum threshold.
I had to lower the endpoint on my Futaba to get the HK ESCs to arm. 1100pwm was too high, but 1080 or so worked.
