I do like simplicity in aircraft set-ups, but prefer to have servo actuated chokes. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, IMHO. No matter how small the gasser, having to get your hands in the path of a prop, even when stationary, is dumb. I have witnessed 2 incidents where when the ignition was turned on the engine kicked over.

Another advantage is that I can crack the carb open and control the opening while warming up an engine. I also have the choke included in my failsafe and engine kill setups.

To each their own as it is your aircraft and you get to choose how you set it up.

Below some pics on how I did a DLE-55 in a Pitts M-12.
