    When it comes to how the twist distance of the throttle is measured, how are the values 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc determined?
    I ask because it can't be measured over the full 360 degrees can it? For example, starting with the wrist in a neutral position, I doubt anyone's wrist could physically turn a throttle 180 degrees.

    A 1/4 then throttle is, indeed 90 degrees.

    I ain't never heard of no 1/2 turn throttle.

    Reminder: grip the throttle like a doorknob, not a chinup bar.
