Default first solo today!

So, I got bored today and decided to go flying by myself.....without my trainer. So I took my plane and went to my parents house, where they have plenty of land. Got the plane up no problems. Was humming along doing great, then....got a little too close to the high tension wires, hit one and went down in a hurry. Now, my question is, is there any trick to be able to tell where your plane is in the air? Orientation is good, but can't judge distance away from me that well. Thanks for any help. Oh, and plane isn't too bad, was able to straighten it out to make a rough landing. It'll fly again with minimal work
