Good advice.. and I must admit, I've done it too.. but not lost an aircraft because of it.

Our main field has the pilot's stand facing the east.. meaning, while flying in the morning, the sun is right there. So, I fly off to the left and keep it over the 'alternate' runway, which runs somewhat east-west, so I face the north when flying in that direction.. keeps the sun away from my field of view..until I have to land it. Then it becomes an interesting drill.
