Frank,

You just have to make allowances for drift when you turn and try not to have 
to make too sharp of a turn in close quarters. You also are forced to lean 
back when you perch so as not to loose your balance and find yourself hanging 
upside down. As far as in migration, you just have to take a lot of joking 
about "Here comes shorty" and "What's wrong the cat got your tail?" ;o)

Good Birding!!!
