I might have a mental block on this issue but I'm wondering why the need to adjust the linkages for a lot more servo throw.
I will grant that a long servo swing is less linear and could fall into the needed curve of the gas throttle, so on a radio without exponential such advice is good and historically wise, especially when considering that dealing with such issues was historically done mechanically including linearity or non linearity needs but I'm just not seeing raising it as a requirement for a computer radio.
As long as the throttle stick throw matches the barrel throw by whatever means (mechanical or end point adjustment), there will still be the non linear problem of the carb and the way to deal with it is to counter it with a non linear stick movement, aka exponential.
