Nice! Currently, there is no hint for that first item, so it requires some clicking around. But, I think the cursor would change if hovered over the specific spot. Noted on 7 and 9. There are actually a few optional paths around that point (which I need to tighten up a bit). Maybe you went the path that is slightly out of order than in the manual.
I hate to ask, but if you have time, can you answer a few questions:
How many runs approx did it take you to fly out?
How many runs do you think would be ideal for a fun experience?
