Help with Arm Movement for Flying Animation Using CAT Rig in 3ds Max

[mahmood584arshad]

Dear Sir,
I'm working on a flying animation in 3ds Max using the CAT rig, and I'm having some trouble with getting the arm movement right for a smooth flying motion. I've set up the rig and positioned the character in a flying pose, but the arm movement during the flapping (or wing-like motion) doesn't look natural.

Any tips on how to animate the arms for a smooth and realistic flying effect? Should I be using specific controllers, or is there a better way to set up the keyframes and curves? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
