James, while there is no pneumatic rule that this violates what you will have is essentially a device that moves on it's own without being enabled by the FMS. Potentially that could be a violation of R8.

Al,
I have thought about this and I would suggest that it is no different from a typical air cylinder in most regards. It will not change state unless (a) the compressor kicks on and charges air, which only happens when enabled; or (b) the venting valve is opened, in which case ANY air cylinder could move. The only functional difference I can come up with is compared to 'one-way' solenoid valves, that default to a given state when disabled or de-powered, in which case the 'always connected' air cylinder is safer, because it doesn't change rapidly or without explicit input (venting air pressure or charging air pressure).
