It might seem like you're chickening out, but it's better to be down on the ground wishing you were flying then to be flying wishing you weren't.
As you gain experience with your avistar, you'll find that the wind bothers you less and less. I fly now on days when I would have stayed on the ground four months ago. The Avistar is not the best plane to fly in the wind. Too light, and all that dihedral makes turns an adventure.
