Default RE: DL-50 engine

ORIGINAL: hillbillyexpress

I have a question, i am building a cap 232 27% and putting the dle55 in her, this is my first gasser and what an experience it has been already lol, i am by far not a master builder however i enjoy the heck out of learning. I installed the engine with some da-50 3'' standoffs and 1/4 ply added to the firewall so i could get the proper distance from the firewall. i disconnected the throttle spring to get rid of the tenision on my servo, as i am sure you gentlemen are aware, the choke is behind the throttle (closest to the firewall) and is in the exact line as the throttle arm. how can i hook up the choke ? i dont really want to use a servo, i have enough weight up there already. i cant go through the front because the throttle is in the way, i am sorry if i sound ignorant to building, but i am teaching myself as i go along.
Some more pics to help

You can flip the throttle arm 180 and screw on the supplied composite arm, or replace with something like a hitec 1" servo arm and a 4-40 bolt, this put them on different levels, and all works neat

Cheers

Scott.
