I once went out of the white arc in my early stages of flying. I had the first stage of flaps out on the Ikarus and was turning final and just started to run the speed up a bit too much. I didn't notice until the wind noise increased quite a bit, the aircraft started to float a lot and it became quite bumpy and more violent to control. No structural damage was done, far from it but it wasn't a nice experience.
