If you worry a lot about damaging the plane then you will be afraid of the wind and you will miss out on some of the most fun in flying. It is a super Adrenalin rush to come in for a landing and have the plane bouncing up and down 10 to 30 feet and on occasionally rolling 90 degrees. Almost always things smooth down near the ground. When you touch down and your hands stop shaking you feel on to of the world. I swear I don't know why people use drugs for such thrills.

As stated above, the key is not to worry about the plane. It helps to fly a plane that can take a beating. All my planes are built with a little extra strength so they can do a wing tip cartwheel with little or no damage. The SPAD planes are great for the wind. The SPAD canard on the left is my plane of choice when the wind is so high no one else is flying. Check out the S.P.A.D. forum if you are interested in tough planes.
