RE: Talk about a crappy day flying....
I can relate!! I`m a fairly recently solo pilot too. While training there were days when I`d fly great then the next day out it was like I`d never flown! Now that I`m flying on my own I realize that this an EXTREMELY dangerous time for a crash. Once I`m up, I stay high ( altitude is your friend! ) and about the only thing I do low is land! Keep practicing!
