    Default Throttle Question

    Hey guys I am wondering which is your favorite type throttle, Is it the friction knob type or the knob with the push button lock type supplied with the older kitfoxes, The reason I am asking is because I have both sitting on the shelf and wondering which one to install.

    The Verner is my choice. You can make fine adjsutments by turning it in or out or push the knob for large changes.

    Haven't flown yet, but I have installed the McFarland (dual for Rotax) Vernier throttle. It does not have the button, but rather it allows setting/locking with friction while providing the Vernier function as well.

    Personal choice if you have the two sitting on the shelf .
    If one has thicker or thinner cable, I would go with the thinner cable than a thick stiffer cable.
    If I was purchasing one , I would go with the McFarlane vernier , it is very nice.
