And we have a winner!  That was it.  My throttle trim wasn't all the 
way to the top, but it was 1/4 of the way up to the top.  I hit 
throttle trim down about four 'clicks' and the throttle worked!   Now, 
whenever I can't get the throttle channel to work on my airplane or 
others I'm helping, I have another 'magic pill' besides reversing the 
throttle channel.  Thank you all for your help.
