Recently I discovered my personal cross wind threshold is quite under the aircrafts limitations, and learned what it felt like to almost lose ground control on a touch and go.
The feeling of the left wing and the rear of my aircraft being lifted up and pushing my nose down while on the ground, moving forward at 40kts or so is something that felt completely unnatural.
I thought I handled it well considering it happened and was over in probably 3 seconds; abort T&G, power back to slow the aircraft, regain forward steering and ask for a back track.
Has anyone else ever experienced this, and what were your immediate actions/thoughts to prevent it from happening on future trips?
