Default RE: Direct Drive System

I saw a system similar to this a couple years ago on a plane that flew during an intermission at an SAE heavy lift competition in Fort Worth. Was this you?

My only question about the system is what are you losing, if anything, when it comes to having no mechanical advantage with the absence of different size servo arms and control horns? In other words, are you getting just as much power to the surface with a direct connection?
