Hi, I gone to this simple method on my DLE equipped warbirds. I put a ball link on the carb choke arm, a plastic push rod connects to the ball link and the push rod exits on the side of the fuselage. the end of the plastic pushrod has a 2-56 rod at the end, a small L bend gives some thing for your fingers to grab.
Pull out for full choke - push in for no choke, just the choke on my dad's 1951 chev truck.
So it sticks out of the fuselage a bit, so do my charge switches, fuel dot and retract air fill fitting.
The Hurri is upside down as it hanging from my garage ceiling, the Hurri is a bit ratty as it crashed (a flap failure - roll to crash) on it's maiden flight - I patched it up and it flies.
cheers - ken
