No, don´t get me wrong. I do believe that they are doing their best. Who I am to say, I'm just a FOW (flying on the weekends) type of pilot. The thing is I was shocked about the difference between the old SU-27 and the new AFM. Just barely managed the old one... Seems like I have to totally reset and reprogram my head for this one.
BTW, do you by any chance have Anatoly Kvochurs telephone number? He could take a quick spin with the SU-27 an tell me what he thinks... ;-)
