RE: fighting the wind..
I had the same problem. LOL Got my Nexstar up high one day, where the wind was really blowing, and when I turned into the wind it just sat there at full throttle. LOL I banked it back and dropped way down to approach and landed it. You do get use to it after a while but a lot depends on the style of the plane and, more importantly, the size and weight. My 30% could really care about the wind, as long as it's not ridiculous, but I have a 50 size Funtana X that just won't come back down in a 10 mph wind. It's a real pain forcing it onto the runway and having it blow backwards when you cut the throttle. As you gain more experience and move on to larger planes the wind will be less of an issue for you. Oh, and if you see cows blowing by....don't take off!
