Noooooooo. What about the go around at 301ft? Will the inexperienced pilot put carb heat to cold or will he forget because he hasn't got to his 300ft check point? As someone has already said, the 152 lends itself to a nice double action with the thumb as you advance the throttle. Unfortunately, Mr Piper likes his throttle quadrant.
PS. I agree with everything SNSGuppy says.
