Re FMS + TU native system. At Smo blog someone noted that Western things are all electronic and buttons, while old Sov. are famous for being sturdy heavy metal. So how smoothly will FMS move around heavy levers, that is, command them to be shifted around?
The expression "By hands! By hands! Only by hands at landing!":o) I read a hundred times at the Smo blog.
As a side example I only yesterday broke a foreign lift by dog's collar+leash Russian system. 5 m of sturdy tarpaulin, the edge stayed beyond doors when the lift began moving, and voila. 7 floors down the leash is almost alright but the lift is no more :o)
