How could one go about riding a griffin or a drake without its wings knocking you off?

Where would you put the saddle? On the neck or on the hip?
Thanks for the answers and comments.

The prime spot would be between the wings with the legs draped over and in front of the wings, straddling the neck.
- By sitting between the wings, the rider is at the center of propulsion, which is important. This is where lift affects the body of the animal and creates a natural center for the animal to pivot from that lift. By being here, the rider will create less of an impact on the animal.
- By placing the legs of the rider hooked in front of the wings, this creates a natural place to hold on to so the rider will be less likely to slip off. It also better centers the rider between the wings.
