Thank you, Bral....I get muddled easily, these days....can't remember handwheel angles so much anymore! Nowadays in the 777 I just send a telephone call to some flt-control elves in the electronics bay by way of the wheel and various thingies move by magic. Unless the elves have croaked, in which case secondary elves-in-training are backed-up by direct-elves who, if they all croak, leave me praying with a 146-ish cable connected to spoilers 4&11 and a stab-trim elf also on a cable....hmmmmm
We used to practice it at Benson for real, by turning off the main and AC pump, just to get used to the feel - flew fine, sloppy, as you say.
