Makes sense. The electromecanical locks the elevator. The other one locks the yoke and you have fifty-something feet of cables getting tensioned and slacked as the elevator flops around.
True...and it's nice in the CRJ to have the hydraulic's in the tail to make any gustlock a mute point.
But, the flip-side is that the CRJ just won't hand-fly the way a Jungle Jet does
