I have not followed this thread but if you are trying to set up a brake, here is the idea. Set the ESC low end to a fixed 1.1 msec. Set up an idle up/down switch to switch the transmitter low end pulse width to a value just below 1.1 msec and just above 1.1. I do this with two throttle curves. Set the value above 1.1 to your desired idle rpm. You can touch it up with the throttle trim. Set the one below 1.1, just low enough to arm the ESC. With some ESCs the motor will start at idle when you switch from the arm position to the idle position. If it doesn't start you may need to jog it with the throttle stick to get it started and then pull the stick back to idle. On the ground switching to the arm position will stop the motor, but in the air it will apply the brake when the throttle stick is pulled all the way back. Once set up you never need to touch the idle trim again. In addition, always set up a throttle kill switch that disables the throttle stick for safety reasons.
