To wed68: The bottom line is that any time there is any wind, it a bad time to learn to fly any plane. You probably have a good trainer plane with low wing loading & low landing speed. Be very patient, wait for calm weather, and practice with the plane you have until you are sure you have mastered it before you go to another plane with better wind capability.

It is very tempting to jump around and buy other planes to fly in wind, but you can easily end up with a collection of crashed planes and still not learn to fly.
