yup, that may be true, for say a 172..
but (in most cases) you don't want to do that in a gulfstream, a C-5 galaxy or a citation even.
different types of airplanes need to be flown differently, full scale or model.
an F3A airplane is flown with a different technique than an ugly stick (or a cub, or an F-4, sopwith, etc)
different airplanes need different technique and different amounts of finesse.
(with some airplanes you can bang the sticks around without worrying, while other airplanes may head south in a hurry if a pilot 'ham fists' the controls)
