Dave and I were actually discussing this on the weekend when I had just come back from taking a new plane of Rons up for a maiden for him and i commented to Dave that his throttle was a bit stiffer that I like and it was quite notchy.
When I asked Ron about it her said he adjusted it because he likes it that way.
So replying to your question, Dave said he had flown a heli with the notchy controls and it made it very difficult to find a neutral hover because one click to much made the heli climb vertically and if he droped it back one notch it was too much and the heli droped. Not an ideal situation when trying to find that sweet spot for holding a hover. You could however stiffen up the stick a little without engaging the ratchet this might help you surging.
