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.
