If the throttle response changing with voltage drop is a real problem, then 2-3 throttle curves should negate most of it.
Playing Devil's advocate, it just seems that we are allowed to spend countless hours and dollars striving to achieve mechanical perfection, but as soon as an electronic aid is mentioned it's time to burn somebody at the stake. It keeps the airframe designers/manufacturers in business selling new designs that "present" better but what about the embedded system geeks that need money too??

Hmmmm, yes, the throttle curves would work also. You would need to remember to keep switching them thru the flight, or use a timer to switch them. Perhaps with the new voltage feedback telemetry you could have the radio select thottle curves based on battery voltage? Maybe a good excuse to buy an 18MZ?

One could also argue that setting 2 degrees of right thrust is a feedback mechanism and should be outlawed as well. Same for contra-props, their torque constantly "cancels" out thru the planetary gearing feedback mechanism. What about wing incidence? It is in response to the effects of gravity.
