BME 50 throttle and choke:
"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"
The throttle and choke servos can be mounted in the top right hatch area, near the dash, as you saw in the photo somewhere in this thread. They are placed sideways and stacked, choke on bottom, throttle on top. If you have ever mounted an aileron servo on a plywood plate in the wing, then you will know how to do it. You will need to grind off the metal arm on the choke and replace it with a nylon steering arm. Carl Goldberg makes one that looks nice. I used sullivan plastic pushrods. The whole thing works great.

I put the servo for the choke on the side of engine box and it works great. I made a backet on the side of it to set it down in. If you need me to i can put my cowl and get you a picture.
Good Luck
