RE: Brio - Glow to Electric
Quite a few people set a separate condition to bump up the lowest throttle position(where the brake applies), to a slightly higher, user defined, idle.
Another way, which I favour, is to have two, switchable, throttle curves, identical, except at the lowest point, where one curve starts at "0", and operates the brake(and is also the point at which the ESC arms), and the second curve starts at "0 +X", where you can add X percent to set your chosen low idle.
Some people recommend switching in this low idle for specific manoeuvres like stall turns and spin entries, where you want to keep some draft over the flying surfaces(which you won't have with a stationary,braked, prop).
With practice, though, it's possible to keep just a little throttle on the "big stick", or to put it back on from the braked position, to provide the draft needed, at the top of a vertical, or at a spin entry.
