Initially, flying in the wind can be (usually is ) very hard on the nerves. Once you get a little flying time you will find the wind is actually a nice thing.

The wind makes takeoffs and landings a lot easier (unless it is coming directly across the runway ). As with anything else, there are some things to be learned, but that is life.

The January issue of MAN has some very good pointers (Land Like a Pro ) for landing in the wind and an earlier issue (about 3 months ago ) of either MAN or Fly RC also had a superb article that delt with takeoffs, landing and flying in the wind.

Hopefully someone will be able to come up with the mag and issue.
