Default My hover blows away in wind

I'm flying 40 sized profiles - a Burrito and a Mojo. I can hover quite well on a very calm day. I can keep it in the hover at a more or less constant altitude for as long as I want. But if there is any wind at all my aircraft will blow away with the wind. I have tried aligning the wings with the direction of the wind and also leaning the airplane into the wind, but still it will blow away.

So what am I doing wrong? How do you all compensate for wind? There are very few windless days in this part of the country.
