Why do you need total energy when running your engine?

Because you want to find lift, put the noise maker away and go soaring. An electronic compensated C302 works great for doing that while under power as described. The -MG version of the 302 with loud external speaker mounted near the pilot's head can be heard over engine noise/and through most headsets.
