Default Do larger planes handle wind better?

I was talking to a guy at the field the other day about a second plane and he suggested a big stik 60. He said larger planes handle wind better. I don't understand why this is so. I've heard other people say this too. I know they are heavier but they also have a greater surface area. It looks to me like a 1/8th scale or any fraction model of a plane would behave the same as the full scale model in the same wind. What am I missing here?
