Anybody else on here have a problem with vernier controls?

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

I sure don't. I have put many an hour on a turbo-normalized mooney, in which
the original throttle is simply pushed wide open on departure and from that
point on, all throttle input, except for landing is by vernier controlled
waste gate. The last time I flew something that had sliding/vernier normal
throttle  control, all you had to do was hit the center button on it and it
slid wide open anyway. No time wasted there. I always found them easier and
more efficient to actually control throttle position than any lever
arrangment. JMPO.
