I've been planning to install a left hand throttle on my 360 for a few years,
but have not thought about how to do it.  I'd like to have my right hand on
the stick and left hand on the throttle during approaches and landing.  I was
not planning on duplicating the carb heat, mixture and prop controls -- these
would presumably not be moved during the final landing throes.

I had always assumed I would use a torque tube under the seat -- one end
conected to the left hand throttle and one connected to the one in the center.
The center throttle lever would have the cable running through the firewall to
the carburetor.
 
Has anyone done this?  What do you think?
