Actually, I think that was me....sort of. What I said was that a MIXTURE with a vernier control is the key to accurate leaning using the old fashioned rpm method. The straight push/pull mixture control moves too far and too fast unless you are VERY careful. You can end up with the engine suddenly dying instead of nicely leaning out. Then, you end up over-responding by jamming the mixture back in too far. With a vernier mixture, you just twist it out til the rpm rises a bit and starts to drop again. Then you twist it back in a touch and you're there. I'll bet some of the old aviators out there can fine tune and explain this in better detail. Dave Winters N27987H

Can anyone tell me where I may purchase such a throttle with a vernier control? Al Flora N94748 (HYR)
