Grab a camera hold module. We in the tank hobby use them for servo elevation of the main gun and to hold position. Could also put one on your throttle stick channel if you want to make it self centering and not ratchet. I've also used them with actuonix L12R series actuators so they are controllable and hold position, won't automatically return to middle stroke on self centering stick channels.
