Hey there...Just thought ide share a story will ya'll. So today i went out to fly...ive been working like everyday in the week and past weekends so i finally got a chance to go today. So i went out to the flying field and they were predicting rain later on in the day so it was kinda cloudy(obviously cloudlier than it thought). I taxied to the runway and took off...after about 30-40 feet off the ground it was just a black silloette. I couldnt tell which way was which, i just had to trust my fingers, and the fact i know what way i was turning. On my downwind leg it got really hairy...I honestly couldnt tell which way it was going...and it was the first time where i felt that i didnt have control of the plane! I really hate that feeling. When i went left it went right, and vice versa...i honestly thought there for a minute i wasnt coming back with my plane. I finally got it level and flying to me...at that point thats all i was worried about was to get it close enough that i could see it better. Once i got close i landed her...and there was a heavy cross wind(heaver than i thought) so i acually had to use the rudder...i was acually surprised how well it sat down with the wind. Once it was down i was greatful i didnt loose her. So today i did a lot of things for the first time that i dont want to do again...haha. So the moral of the story is to not fly your plane when its kinda cloudy and grey lookin out...no matter how bad you want to(trust me i wanted to bad...turns out i shouldnt have)

thats it...just thought ide share my experience
