The springs are so strong trying to pull the throttle wide open that it becomes a dangerous situation waiting for an accident to happen! After 50 hours with an ACS friction throttle I changed to the ACS Vernier throttle, much safer. It stays where you leave it without any creeping to a higher throttle setting. It would happen to me in the air, on the ground or wherever. If I got it tight enough so it didn't creep then I couldn't move it easily enough to manipulate it for fine throttle adjustments taxing or landing. After it crept up on me a few times while warming up I knew I had to do something else with it.

Has anyone ever tried this? What special provision to the airframe would be a good idea to do this? I'm not a glider pilot nor do I have the tow endorsement but it is something I might want to try some day.
