    The return spring doesn't cause any issues for me and is flawlessly working.

    Ok excellent I'll look more into it.

    Back to motorising throttles - one option would be to use a giant scale servo which is converted for continuous operation. If geared that would provide very high torque...

    How quickly to 737 levers move?

    On my old 737 sim, i used Hitec 805's which when not powered, you could easily move them even while connected. No need for a clutch mecanism. As for torque, it would toss my throttle arms around in the real TQ i had like plastic toys!

    Did you have to convert to continuous action or was it enough just to use the servo as is, with no gearing?

    No gearing at all. I had them connected via a 4-40 threaded rod and r/c airplane heavy duty clevis using the large arm that came with the servo. I used 6volts and those servo's have over 400oz of TQ!
