Summary
- Keep it simple: there is nothing really wrong with using plain bowden cables. Aerosport center consoles have room for 2 knobs on each side.
- Some report that non-locking bowden cables may rattle the heater valve into the closed position again and again. Consider locking cables.
- 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.
- 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.
