Thank you for explaining all of that, as you can see I'm a complete rookie c/l pilot. I was experimenting with wrist movements vs arm movement with a locked wrist while just flying circles and I have better control with the arm movement only technique. I have noticed that those who fly stunt frequently use large arm movements and seem to control the plane very smoothly.
I found this video of a guy flying a flitestreak, and noticed the arm movement while he is flying squre loops.
Anyone here know if this pilot is flying the AMA stunt pattern here?

Thanks all for the input, I am going to apply what I've learned here and hopefully do some lazy 8's this coming weekend.
Without you folks, I would be totally lost as I have never seen any C/L flying in this area during my 14yrs here.
Maybe I should change my handle to C/LDUDE just for this forum
