So, on the Dart, the pilot has no control over engine rpm at a particular throttle setting - some widget decides it for him.
That 'widget' is called the throttle, or thrust lever, if that makes you feel better.
Prop and throttle (control) are combined, and together with the fuel trimmer, determine engine power output.

A completely reliable system, that operates superbly.
