If you have never flown C/L before, you will want to be careful about overcontroling. Rather than giving "up" and "down" by rotating the handle with the wrist try pointing your whole arm at the airplane and while holding the wrist stationary raise or lower your arm from the shoulder.

(This is a "do as I say" as I am currently recovering from a fairly major shoulder injury/surgery that is preventing my flying, motorcycling,etc.[] I can, however still give advice, solicited or not. Anyone need advice about women?
