Hi Chopper

One thing I would suggest you be cautious about is entering a small, isolated but heavy shower. As you approach it, you can see the horizon the other side and tend to enter with confidence high. However, when you actually hit the rain, the drops hit so hard that you can't see a thing. It will probably only take a few seconds to fly out the other side but make sure you are happy to hold wings level on instruments alone.
