I vote against calibrating joysticks...

I recommend against recalibrating joysticks (and the
Victors by the way -- for similar reasons).

Basically the problem is that the system works just
fine until it doesn't work anymore.

As you move the center trims more and more off of
center, you gradually lose resolution of the joysticks
until the resolution so bad nothing works right.

Here is what I recommend instead: Use the lights on
the OI (or your handy dandy Dashboard) to provide
feedback on the trim position of the joystick.

In this way, you can get the joysticks set right
without using valuable CPU time to scale them.

There is an even strong case against re-calibrating the
Victors, but that is a problem for antoher day.
