Granted, the T tail arrows do have a heavy feel to them. Rather solid, feels like you are flying a bigger aircraft than it is. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing like "brutal" or "scary" amounts of force required.
Maehhh - did you check yourself out on type or did an instructor?
The trim wheel sits in a completely unhandy position if you want to use it manually and do I really need to comment about the manual flaps?
Nothing wrong with the location of the trim wheel. That may imply that you did not sit in the cockpit and familiarise yourself with the location of switches/controls prior to flying a new type.
As for the flaps, electric flaps are another thing to go wrong. I do hope you are in the habit of visually checking settings, not just moving a switch to a detent. Is it because you think the handbrake style lever doesn't look cool when your taking chicks up? You want to feel more of a jet jock?
