almost all piston engine aircraft have a throttle just like that, including Cessna 152, 172 etc...and we 'crack' the throttle in exactly the same way he does...there is a "friction" dial to make it difficult to push/pull so it cannot adjust itself. Flying is a lot by "feel and sound and vibration etc, you can hear when it is right....:)

I'd be willing to let you try, right after you put 75K cash in my hand.
