* Keep it simple: there is nothing really wrong with using plain bowden cables. Aerosport center consoles have room for 2 knobs on each side. | * Keep it simple: there is nothing really wrong with using plain bowden cables. Aerosport center consoles have room for 2 knobs on each side. | ||

* Linear actuators mounted in the engine compartment have mixed reviews. Some say no problems in many years. Some say, they are on their 3rd set, wish they had simple cables. | * Linear actuators mounted in the engine compartment have mixed reviews. Some say no problems in many years.

* A possible solution is to run bowden cables through the firewall and mount servos under the panel. Possibly in a spot where one can override the servos manually after cutting power to the servo controller. | * A possible solution is to run bowden cables through the firewall and mount servos under the panel.

* Servos and their controllers use pulse width modulation which emits RF noise in all bands. Airplanes are mostly affected in the COM/NAV band as it is amplitude modulated. Don't use servos unless everything is shielded and verified to not cause interference. | |||
