The wind won't get you too bad once you are up in the air. It's on takeoff and landing that it can bite you pretty fast. Use plenty of speed and learn to crab. When you come in to land, I always find it easier to come in a little fast. Just saw a guy last weekend bust his plane up coming in too slow, trying to harrier his yak with a cross wind. If he would have just greased it in instead of trying to float it down it probably wouldn't have gotten away from him. good luck.
