This happened to me on my Archer checkout with the club's chief pilot as
CFI. I just pulled the first notch back in while holding pitch attitude, and
wiped away the sudden sweat. Keep flying the airplane, and it'll be fine.

Were you crossing the threshold @ 40 AGL and seconds from a landing?

I agree it's not such a big deal at altitude. *Personally, I want to
avoid leaning over to grab the bar at the moment I mentioned above.

Thursday afternoon, I landed in a varying 45 to 60 degree crosswind 15
gusting to 27. *With my luck, that would be the day I drop the bar. 8^(

Try doing a flapless for more control in a strong xwind?
