They've got a really nice throttle quadrant that uses Cessna style vernier 
controls.  Their travel is about 3" or so.  It includes throttle, mixture

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
