No offense Gengis, but I'm amazed that's the first time you had call to figure that one out

However, now I'm thinking about throttles ... What do you consider the best way to have a spring return set on a cabled throttle? Set for full on, or full off in the event of a disconnection? I know it's a rare occurance but what if? Both ways have advantages and disadvantages. As an ex glider pilot, I favour off, but a WW1 pilot (not many around I admit) used to a "blip switch" might prefer full on? What do you reckon?
