I am in my third year of flying and still need practice in the wind. I am ok with the wind down the runway or a little left or right of center, and can fly either a Nort or South pattern. However, I have problems in a striaight crosswind. I lost my Magic Extra 3 weeks ago to a 90* crosswind of about 20-25mph. Should have stayed on the ground, but decided to fly. I took off ok and hand no major problem until I tried to land. My first approach was about 45* to the runway and when I tried to straighten it out and land on the runway, it drifted quicly away from it. I aborted the landing and started up and to the right to go around. When the wing got 90* to the wind, a gust pushed it nose over tail toward the ground. I started to roll out of it, but had lost too much airspeed to recover and it went in nose first. Since most of the speed had been bled off, it basically crushed the fuse up to the wing front. Someday, I will rebuild the front, but for now, I purchased a Tower Hobbies Voyager and plan to practice side slipping in crosswinds. This is something that both my instructor and I agree was not practiced much during training. Listen to yourself, if you 'think' there is too much wind, then there probably is.
