One potential benefit of this system would be that you lose the nonlinearity associated with our current arm/pushrod/horn setups. With zero expo on a direct drive system, the surface should move exactly linearly (at least as linearly as the servo being used). Most people would probably still use some expo, but if nothing else it may make it easier to compare expo values between setups which may have different length pushrods, servo arms, control horns, and different control horn locations relative to the servo.

As true as could get

We now have super duper torque servos (5955) but we still need super duper precision servos. If I had all the money in the world, I would still not use this setup on an IMAC only plane as the resolution would still not be there.
I don't have all the money I would need so I must settle for a single plane for 3D and IMAC. I feel the need for precision in my sequence flying but I have to live with that since my plane is setup for 3D...
For when the ultra precision servo [:@]??
