Anyone want to buy an SU-27?

Most older russian/chinese aircraft operate gear/flaps/etc on a pneumatic system.

I've watched that work on a MiG-21U (2-seater). The flight control surfaces seemed... twitchy, or should I say "responsive?" Anyway, being a helo guy I don't have any fixed wing hydraulic flight control experience to compare it to (other than watching the various surfaces on airliner wings from a passenger seat).
