Same thing might happen when you tried to slow down a little.
I keep forgetting it's a feed-back system.

Maybe a little micro controller that looked at the TPS and used the
CC up-down lines (from the buttons) to keep the TPS at the same setting??

You could program the timing of the Up-down pulses, so they were slow
and smooth.
