Default Patty throttle/choke servo mounting w/ BME 50

Sorry for asking more of what are probably silly questions, but I'll probably be doing it for a while as I build my Patty over the next few weeks/months since this is my first gasser, and first model above .60 glow size!

Regarding the throttle and choke servos -- after reading many posts on this and other threads I have decided I'd like the choke to be controlled by a servo. Since the throttle and choke are both on the same side of the engine (obviously), but there is only one servo mounting place in the servo tray on the right hand side of the plane, does anybody have any ideas how I can mount my throttle and choke servos next to each other in a way that does not look "rigged", whilst maintaining the straightest possible shot for the pushrods. I plan on mounting the fuel tank above the CG if this makes any difference. I think I saw posts of pictures on this thread with two servos up high on the right of the plane, but I can't find them again.

Also the ch-ignitions module that came with my engine does not have a connector on the battry power input line. Do I use a regular RX pack to power this thing, and if so do I need to solder a regular female connector onto the end of this wire like what my regular RX battery would normally plug into? If so, where can I get these? Also, is a regular RX type slide switch good enough for turning this circuit on/off. I'm not quite decided but I may also use an optical kill switch in addition (I'm a paranoid kind of guy!).

Thanks in advance,

Martin.
