Normally (I don't know what's on your controls) there is a throttle tension adjustment that allows you to stiffen it up. (but I'm fairly new to this!) Does your controls have anything like that?

Mine is located on the aft side of the controls. Just a little knob. I think they could be on top as well. If you don't see it pretty clearly it probably doesn't have one. But as I said before, I'm fairly new to this, and am just relaying info I have learned so far.

If it doesn't, I'm not to sure where to start from there.
