> "I also believe in good aircraft type of throttle controls with no
play in the system so the throttle stays where I put it."

On multis there's a friction control and many singles have a twist ring
lock on the shaft (as we all know . . . don't know why I mention it . .
.) and of course with the really fancy planes you do it with buttons. 
I'm wondering, do some KR or other home builders put Briggs & Stratton
throttles on their planes?  

Mine came with a red vernier mixture control for a throttle - like Beech
I think (although not red).  Or is it Mooney?  Mooney I think.  Maybe
both.  Anyway, I'm chiming in in favor of this type of throttle.  Turning
the knob for fine tuning is something I've really gotten used to - just
another of the many fine details incorporated into this plane by Ken
Cottle.  

I think with the Ellison, if the throttle linkage broke the throttle
would stay in whatever position it was in when it broke or came loose. 

Did we just read that Steve Glover bought Ellison?  How great is that!
