Default Large servo for throttle. Overkill?

I am new to gas, so this may seem like a silly question to you all. When rigging the throttle on my first glow airplane H9 twist, I was amazed at how easy it was to actuate the throttle but a full sized servo cutout was in the throttle position. Another thing suprised me. All of the servos on this palne are very close to the control surfaces, but the throttle servo is buried in the middle of the fuse. Wouldn't it make more sense to put a micro servo right next to the engine and actuate the throttle with a little push rod.
