Narrative:
During takeoff climbout PIC noticed that the right engine manifold pressure wasn't at the normal position; at which point he reduced the power on the right and noticed that there was no power change. After further trouble shooting we had concluded that the right engine wasn't controllable with the power (throttle) at which point we [notified ATC]. At that time we feathered the right engine; completed the securing checklist and landed on runway 32 safely. We then exited the runway; shut down the aircraft and awaited ground rescue assistance for further instructions.
