Default RE: WIND!!

The plane "sees" no wind, ONCE YOUR IN THE AIR.
Since you are a begginner, take off and land INTO the wind.
It would be good to learn slips ect., sooner, than later.
There are some better planes for wind, but all planes fly the same in the wind, what you are really asking is this; what planes will be tossed around less by the turbulence, when it's windy?
The answer would be planes with a higher wing loading.
Fly what you've got, and practice practice practice. I regularly "fly in place when the winds are steady, and smooth- no runway required!
