I have the opposite experience from the comment below. I built my plane with
the vernier throttle and mixture. They are side by side that a couple of my
fingers fit between them (right handed) and my thumb rests on the push button
of the throttle for instant movement for take off and landing. Actually it is
more accurate that my right hand is resting on both and I can and have
manipulated both of them at the same time. In flight I often use the vernier
throttle to make small adjustments to the rpm's (or speed). I love it and would
not want it any other way. I never even thought about changing it for the plane
I'm working on now. Another reason that I went with the vernier throttle was
that it was always in the positive lock. If I am not wrong many (all ??)
push/pull have a seperate twist lock of some kind???
Someone else mentioned the actual cable size bing small on a certified
aircraft in one of the mis-adventures earlier. I am pretty certain that there
is different cable sizes available when ordering. I think that I have the .095
cable in mine for both throttle and mixture. I fooled with atuo store cables
which became clear was a waste of my time and some money.
Again this is my choice and works great for me, but there aare other ways and
throttle quandrants is a whole nother arena.

The standard would be a friction lock type. The vernier takes a bit to get
used to as a throttle, (must be a twisty thing),but would work. If you have
never used a vernier throttle, I would not recommend using one on a first
flight in a newly built experimental aircraft. No heckling from the Bonanza
folks.
