My apologies but I burst out laughing when I read this post. I could have told you how difficult this would be from my experiences with my old man when he died a few years ago.
We weren't that adventurous and decided on the local cricket pitch but being a windy day it was potentially traumatic. All was going well with the ashes spreading nicely downwind on the wicket when the real Senna dog (who was a puppy at the time) decided that this looked like a great game and decided to play a game of chase.
The best advice that I can offer is not to be too adventurous. IMO an aircraft is not a good idea.
