Terry,
Flex fans move a lot, that is one of the dangers of flex fans. Personally, I hate the stupid things. Stock or non-flex fans still move to some degree, but nothing like flex's do.
The arms of the fan don't move it is the blade itself that moves and over time even a stock type fan can crack or break from fatigue as mentioned.
Electric's are ok but they have there faults too, personally if there is room, clutch fans are the only way to go on the street.
