Default Best plane for windy conditions?

Only since getting into RC flying have I started to monitor the wind conditions near where I live and it's depressing how windy it is on a fairly consistent basis

What types of glow planes are best suited for flying in windy conditions? I've heard that bigger, heavier handles the wind better than smaller, lighter, but are there wing shapes (thin, pattern type airfoil?) or plane styles that do better than others?

if all else fails i guess i could convert to sailplanes heh


thanks,
boneman
