Handling wind is a matter of practice.

I have flown in sufficient wind that when I landed, Ihad to maintain a bit of power to keep the aircraft from blowing backward. I've seen better pilots land planes such as Cubs in wind heavy enough they had to hold between 1/4 and 1/3 throttle and hold down elevator to keep the aircraft stationary and on the ground.

The local club's annual Pattern contest is notorious for 20 to 30 mph winds... that doesn't seem to have any effect on the number of people that come to compete. (but it sure makes the Sportsman class... interresting to judge.)

FLying in wind should be learned eventually. Learning to deal with it is easier with a heavier model. But once you learn to deal with it... if the wind isn't so fast that cruising speed of the trainer, or Cub or other light plane is blown backwards.... you'll be able to deal with it.

If we never flew in wind... we'd almost never fly in Texas.
