A fluid flow control device of the type having a spool valve mechanically biased toward a neutral position, a movable fluidic control such as a jet pipe for selectively moving the spool valve from its neutral position, a torque motor movable from a neutral position in response to a driving signal for positioning the fluidic control, a sensor for sensing the position of the spool and providing an output signal indicative thereof, and electronic control circuitry including a feedback circuit which utilizes the sensor signal to selectively modify the torque motor driving signal includes a second feedback arrangement which responds to the position of the fluidic control to modify the spool position. The second feedback arrangement may take the form a resilient mechanical coupling between the spool and the fluidic control and is operable independently of the sensor and feedback circuit.
