If you are going to fly in the wind a lot I would recommend a 3 axis rate gyro from hobbyking. It is about $30. you will also need to order three 4 inch male to male jr/futaba connectors to connect it to the receiver. It will make your plane fly in 10 mile an hour winds like there is no wind. set the gain so the control surfaces only move about 3/8 of an inch. It doesn't take much. If you are willing to spend more money I would get an apprentice from horizon hobby. It has gyro stabilization and can self level. You can also turn it off as you get more advanced.
