Why would you want the choke on, but ignition off, how will you know when it is primed??

I dont approach starting petrol engines any different to glow ie get the motor wet before applying the ignition source.

so - pos1 -Full choke & full throttle flick to get the engine wet - pos 2 choke & ignition & flick to fire and immediate pos 3 -
engine normal.

This is a scale model with limited ability to fit a mechanical choke lever.

Re-lights and flaps. Could've done that using the flap channel to electronically switch lights on. Strange you want the lights not on together as position or landing lights. I could've set you up with a small module that switches as flaps are moved but if no signal it could either switch lights on or off. Originally my Twin Otter's landing lights switched on when the flaps were moved. However, if I had not moved them they were switch to tell me I have lost signal no RF signal!

i tried electronic switch but it required > 50% ATV to switch off and the flap channels only require 45% from neutral to fully retracted - so mechanical switches was the only way -
