I have yet to fly an aircraft that I could not apply full RPM and full throttle at the same time. I am with Chuck 100% on this.

In my aircraft I fly the circuit at 18" and 2400 RPM. On final if I have to go around I smoothly advance the throttloe and the RPM at the same time.

Yesterday doing a Complex conversion on a Lance I had the pilot fly the circuit on the same numbers, on the go around which he was not expecting at 50ft I had him advance the RPM and the throttle in a smooth motion, achieve the climb and clean the aircraft. His comment was that was so much easier and a damn site better than thrashing the balls of it at max RPM.

We could perhaps argue that anyone who finds a complex type so complex that they can't do as Chuck suggest's has a little more time with an Instructor.
