Well, if you're doing all that it might be a drop in the bucket, but
I'd say fly it for a while before deciding you need a vernier throttle.
For one thing, it will be very expensive because the low-throttle
gear warning horn is a mechanical monstrosity that is part of the
throttle assembly.

me along the way with onwership with there experiences? DO's and Dont's?


Join ICS (International Comanche Society). Always always set the trim
before takeoff (landing trim and takeoff trim are no where near each
other). Check the floor behind the gear lever before you put the gear
up. Put the gear down before you land. Rest your fingertip on the gear
knob while it's going down so you can feel it lock into place. Mind
your airspeed on final. Don't let a Cessna-driving CFI talk you into
doing short field landings 5-6kt slower than normal landings (the AFM
calls for 2mph, btw).
