Default Linear servo

To preface, I am working on a 1/9 scale AD Rafale.
What options are there for a linear servo to be used on ailerons?
I think the Figerilli have a 2 second transit, so would be a little slow, and not sure they would act proportionately. EMS- Jomar has a conversion for adapting a standard Futaba servo. I ordered a set 5 weeks ago and can get no response from the company, so I am now looking for alternatives. As a last resort I can use a thin wing servo, but I didn't want to cut the wing up further. The servo mounts in a fairly thin ( skinny) fairing and does not have room for much of a servo arm, hence the search for a linear solution.
I have spent a deal of time searching, and have only found these two options.
Does any one have any suggestions, aside from 'torching' the project?
