RE: wind sucks......
Yes indeed around hear if you can't fly at winds between 10 to 25 or so you will not have many flight days, in fact I started with a Nexstar and some time landed the thing helicopter style it can be done , not as much fune but challenging. I now fly plane that are better in the wind such as sports type, but you also have to go through the learning prosess, I'm sure you'll get there.
