Roland and all,
As a flight instructor and Rotax 914 homebuilder and flyer, I would 
strongly insist on monitoring engine parameters (viz manifold pressure 
and rpm) when setting takeoff/go around power. It is naturally easier 
with conventional gauges with clear legal redlines : one gets quickly 
used to watch the needles reaching the redline from the corner of one's eye.
Also, what is definitely needed in a "electrically dependant" aircraft, 
is a conspicuous under voltage warning light.
My best sympathy for your mishap,
Best regards,
