Default EF Yak w/DA 50 Choke Set up?

So I installed the engine and trying to figure out the best way to set the choke on this plane. Anyone have any suggestions or pictures of their set up that they can share? Not sure to use a servo or run a wire down the front of the fire wall..

See this link from the DOD board. You can make a very simple set up like this and no weight from a servo. I use this on both my DA's

This is my favorite way. A 2-56 pushrod with a ball end on it and 6 zip ties. Works great. This particular one is a CF rod with a titanium end from Central hobbies.

Nope, you have to turn it on (close) when you are starting it. Once it fires and runs for a second or two, then quits, you turn it off (open). Then you leave it off and flip it three times. It should start and stay running.
