It's not for the most part unless you have a pressure dependent fuel or the 
fuel decomposition is independent and separate from the oxidizer/fuel main 
stage, i.e. a staged combustion hybrid.

How efficient is that control on most hybrids? I understand regression rate 
working in favor of the process. I do admit I have not run any calculations for 
regression vs oxidizer flow. Is it close enough to make that much up? If so it 
might rejuvenate some interest in hybrids for me.
I'll have to look into it I guess I may have overlooked something there.
My thinking was it wasn't enough.
