Here is my biggest problem with a choke servo...Im gonna put 2 of these in a VQ P-61 and i want to keep as much of the cowl intacted...Im already gonna be 13 servos deep with this aircraft adding 2 more even micro ones grr its just grief is all...What i dont want to happen is have one the the chokes close on me in flight big time nightmare. Thats why im partial to the open/closed no servo no spring needed method of the BME DA's etc...

Just out of curiosity, what size flight pack batteries and how many of them are you going to use?
I can understand your concern for reliability and trying to reduce the number of servos as possible failure points. I doubt that the servos would malfunction electronically in a PCM/SS environment frequently enough to be a serious cause for concern.
I've owned several BME 44's and one BME 50, but for the life of me I cannot visualize what you are talking about in favor of such set ups.
