I use a vernier throttle on my Mooney Ovation and
like it.
In flying the Lancair Demo (99L), I found the
friction control difficult to use
and get a precise power setting. Because of
this, I swapped the friction throttle
on my Legacy for a
vernier.

Subject: [LML] Vernier throttle
In my limited experience with
flying complex airplanes I don’t believe I have ever seen a vermier control
used for the throttle while nearly every constant speed prop is controlled
with the use of a vernier control cable as well as the mixture. I also
know that ACS makes a black vernier cable and can be purchased at Aircraft
Spruce (A-1760
VERNIER CONTROL found at http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/a1760.php)
but I am unable to find the same thing on the Aerocraft Parts
website.
I really like the precise control
one has with the use of the vernier for the RPM (prop/blue) and EGT
(mixture/red) and I often think about changing my friction control throttle to
a vernier style. I think about it most frequently when I am landing and
trying to slowly change the throttle setting for proper power while on
final.
I would like to hear other’s
thoughts on this.
