Rotating the wrist isn't one of the strongest actions a human can do. I
have much more strength with the rotation is combined with an up or down
action so that your biceps and triceps can get into the action along with
the rotation from your forearm.

Huh. When I flew the SR20 (granted, this was one of the test planes, before
they finished certification...but it WAS one of the conforming prototypes,
so surely it's not that different from the one you were in), I didn't use a
rotating motion to control the side-yoke. My forearm was not in line with
the axis of the yoke, and aileron control was more of a push-right,
pull-left (from the left seat) affair.

Still different from the use of a center-mounted yoke, granted...but I had
plenty of leverage and found the controls quite natural and easy to use.
Certainly compared to the 182s I'd been flying, the SR20 seemed more
responsive.
