I had no issues standing up and the kite man didn't have enough wind It was more wind direction rolling off the trees that made it bumpy at ground level.
One important thing from me is that of radio set up. Generally the instructor will chose the radio settings. I'd set "Pinky" quite soft as it was to be Claire's first aileron model. Smaller movements and 20-25% Expo. This was a mistake! I took several flying sessions to realise the expo was a bad thing for a novice, it reduced Claire's confidence on the sticks, I realised she might be putting in a control input, but if the model didn't instantly respond, question that input and have a "moment".
By taking nearly all the expo out and increasing the movement slightly, Claire got on really well on Saturday and worked her way through a bag of Li-po's with very few "instructor" moments.
Considering the number of flying sessions, Claire's progress is incredible, the word natural is used maybe too often...but she is
