Default RE: Best Model for Windy Conditions ???

Looking for recommendations on a good model to buy that is least effected by windy conditions. I don't expect to fly in 30 knot crosswinds but want one I can fly rather than go home on those marginal days.
I assume the larger the better and not a flat bottom wing. I am at the beginner to intermediate stage and want to do basic sport flying and mild aerobatics. What do you recommend?
You sound like you are exactly where I am in thinking. I recommend the plane I just got. A super stunts 60. Its a shoulder wing stik like what others already recommended...however its huge - 80" wing span. Big means less effected by the wind. It also means, easier to see to fly and land. It looks to be an excellent plane to build up your aerobatic skills up.
