There, it's marketed as a linear servo, it's PWM controlled, it's powered by 6V, it's under $75. It's a legal COTS servo if you use this version. You're welcome.
NB: We used one of these last year under last year's servo rules and had no problems.

Yeah, I can see where the differing answers are coming from. I linked to the L16-P--which would be a linear actuator and over the servo budget--first result that came up on Google (other than images/ads for the L16-R).
OP, you will need to make sure you get the right version of the L16. L16-R = servo, legal. L16-P = linear actuator, needs legal motor to be legal. Just as a thought, you may want to make sure that the label with the type is visible for inspection in case an inspector asks questions.
