All the way down. Throttle and throttle trim need to be down or the ESC will not arm the motor. Remember to set the failsafe so you don't have a runaway and always power the transmitter on first and the ESC last on power-up and the ESC first and transmitter last when powering down.

That's the way I do it.  You can use end-point adjustment to get the most out.  But the good news is that even if you're not 100% thrust you gel longer flight times.

Unless you are after a scale apperance and want to mimic a gas/glow engine at idle there is no need to set the throttle trim. I've never seen anyone do it.
