My point is that throttle management is more critical with electrics than it is with glow. If you bench test an electric, push it to full throttle, you can hear the RPM drop as the battery drains. And, that is even if you only consume less than the available current from the pack. Try it sometime.
With glow, go to full throttle and the power curve remains flat, of course, until you run out of fuel.
This makes throttle management with electrics more critical than it does with glow.

Understand. I hadn't considered that the power curve on an electric was not flat, but it makes sense. My only experience with electrics is on my Mistral glider. I use the motor to haul it up into the thermals and shut it down.
