Default Next plane?

ive been flying a slow stick for a while and am really enjoying it...........the slow stick is my first plane .........its a killer plane ,but the wind really plays havok with it.............which alot of that has to do with my skills as a pilot im sure............but im thinking of getting a new plane and i was curious what is a good next plane for me to go to...........if i get somthing a lil heavier will the wind not push it around so bad?............

The shockflyers are nice and stable with the throws down and the battery forward. I had one but now build my own out of depron foam.
If able use brushless
pico servos and gws 4 ch receiver
Polyquest 600mah or 850mah 3-cell li-poly
Keep it light.
Mine now weigh 7.5 oz and can handle a 10mph wind but anything over that is just no fun.

Why not get a 40-sized glow powered trainer? If you go that route you may need some assistance from a more experienced flyer.
