On the CRJ (200 anyways) it really wasn't too bad. Just a distinct rumble and shake from the back. I remember when getting a briefing on the Citation that the ONLY immediate action item I need to know was to press the TR stow button if I saw it light up. In the RJ it isn't even an action item and the plane will keep flying on autopilot in a slight slip.

Also, PCU runaways are teh suck! It depends on how fast the breakaway bungie catches it. I had more problem with the stab trim runaway as I didn't catch it very fast to disconnect and it got almost all the way down to 1 before it stopped. Try landing a heavy plane like that.
