1- That was not just "too-little" but MAJOR ... passing 50 feet the VISIBLE trim wheel (and at least it's a good thing they kept it !) moved from 1.5 to ... 4.5 UP
2- No interest in classic flight controls comparison, but in fully visible coupled flight controls, it could be as well 777 or C-17 or EMB last generation ...
Just as a aside it is Airbus on who elected to keep the visible trim wheel on their FBW aircraft and Boeing who deceided to remove it from their FBW 777. Had you been in a Boeing CONF you'd not have seen this maybe in a way backing up what you were saying about visible feedback.
How many here tend to favour the aircraft they first flew in their sidestick/control column views?
My own (personal) feelings is neither manufacturer got it entirely right. Why don't Airbus thrust levers move? Why doesn't the 777 have decent envelope protection? Why is there no trim wheel only those trim levers on the 777? Why does the Airbus tend to get trickier (or more challenging) on gusty crosswind days whereas the 777 isn't affected as much?
