And that's exactly what I've always done. Throttle forward, throttle back (WEP aside when available). Real purists will boo at me, and honestly I'd like very much to dedicate myself to some engine management as well, but can't be bothered when A) I don't have a comfortable enough interface to handle all those additional controls and B) I'm still stuck to a (admittedly comfortable) chair in a warm, quiet, tiny flat. I can't feel the right pull of the engine on the proper mixture/pitch, I can't feel the rattling and shaking of a wrong carburation. I'm of that old school that thinks most of the engine and chassis of any vehicle, you manage with the bum more than with hands. I might just make an exception for things like radiators and cowlings, but that's it really. But I'll make no compromises on aerodynamics, I want the full package there (even though approaching stalls are very much another bum thing).
Also, I think I'll drink a shot every time I quote askavir from now on.
