The control check on the airbus (as I understand it) involves checking the sidestick movement with the control positions shown on the EICAM.
On light aircraft I used to teach students the control check as "UP, UP, UP" - where you turn the control wheel left, look left and see the aileron "up", pull the control wheel back and look behind for the elevator/stabilator to be "up", turn right, look right etc.
On the BAe 146 you have two spoiler position guages that can be used similarly for the aileron circuit, and you could feel the weight of the elevator.
I know that none of these is possible in the 733.
