Another light rain issue - fine while the fan's running on the front clearing your screen. Turn base, carb heat, throttle back... all of a sudden can't see out. Not so good when trying to land!

Add a crosswind and the one time I had to do this I was pretty uncomfortable - had to come in a bit shallow on account of needing to use throttle to clear screen. Wished I had wipers
