There are different horses for different courses. I love flying in the wind, but I don't use one of my old Superstars for doing it (unless the wind is pretty much up & down the runway). Don't quit flying in the wind, (it really is great fun), just dig up some equipment that will handle it -- ask your more experienced buddies at your field what they use in windy weather (I use a Blue Movie SPAD & an old Ultra Sport 40). If you sit on the ground when it's windy, you will miss a bunch of flying time and a lot of fun as well.
