No the experience has left me unharmed. However, when I first did do cloud flying I only had two flights with an experienced instructor in the front. The rest was self taught by trial and error, and on one occasion I can remember the a/c NiCad battery failing leaving me without a Turn and Slip. It was a different type of flying but in retrospect, I would recommend more training for such conditions.
As for Met I can read the sky more quickly than my colleagues. Where I am falling down is on the multitasking aspects of IR which are used to the same degree when flying gliders.
When it comes to PFLs and EFATOs my technique differs from the textbook drill by using my gliding methods for field landings. This has left a few instructors uneasy, however I have never failed to make a safe approach.
