what if you used hall sensors or reed switches and a magnet for the stop switches? This way there is never any contact and it cant break the switch...
Another thing is to add springs or something so if the switch or rudder feedback doesnt work, the overcurrent limit will not be as much of a crash. I have a rope preventing it from going out too far and it squeeze a rubber thing if it moves in too close.
I dont think water will be too much of a problem but will be interesting to see. The tighter of a seal you make on a sliding arm the more energy is wasted in friction, so I think it may be best to not have a perfect seal and do what you have, multiple holes and this "antechamber"
How did you determine the belt ratio? Are you sure it is the best one to use?
As for backlash in the rudder feedback I wouldnt worry about this too much, since its only used to prevent end of travel with the basic pilot.
