I agree with the concept above, but recommend doing it with the radio setup, not the ECU max rpm. This allows to limit the top RPM for cruising, but keep the full thrust for takeoff and potential aborts during landing. Basically use the retract switch to change the throttle signal when retracts are up to limit the max RPM. You can use a condition delay so that the transition is smooth when hitting the retract switch.
