Great set of graphs, you should all take a look.
Joe, I think you are referring to the fact that the controllers should put out pure DC voltage at the extremes of the PWM scale. (i.e. at 0 and at 255) This statement is correct only if the controllers are calibrated to your control system/joysticks. If you do not calibrate it is possible to hit DC before the end of travel on the joystick or you may not be able to achieve DC with the joystick fully up or down.
You are not supposed to make the rest of us feel bad by telling us your in Mexico. I, for one, am back here in the cold, bleak winter, getting ready for kickoff. Brrr, it's cold up here! I am going to go put on another pair of socks and a sweater. (Am I making you feel bad yet?)
