Default RE: Flying in strong Winds

Expecting delivery today of my GreatPlanes PT-40 MkII .40 trainer (first plane and kit) I live in NY
about 30 mi. north of the city and the only field near me is at Croton Point, this is a bluff overing looking the
Hudson river. Most of the flying is over the river, I know this river well from fishing as a kid and it's allways windy.
from what I read this is bad for a high wing trainer, any advice? maybe a larger engine. This is not a AMA field so I think
I will be on my own.
