Default Turbines Vs Props

okay i did not know that about turbines flying with throttle left over. I always thought they went WOT. I seen a few videos with some turbines flying but it is very hard to get an idea on what they are like compared to seeing in real life i guess.

I was looking at that TOPCAT last night it says its a trainer jet. I was curious on about how it would run. Also what all is involved in starting and running a turbine. From the videos it looks like you need some gauges and some other equipment.

How do you go about learning about turbines besides reading directions. Do they have like classes or some kind of training on them on does and donts? I know there must be more to it than just cranking one up.
