i do to SPAD stick planes for the wind. that way if a crosswind gust takes it out while im doing inverted harriers/landing/touch and goes/ect really close to the ground it wont be damaged.
i dont like flying my balsa planes in much more than 16-18 mph of wind, and in kansas the wind is always changing direction. i have had cross wind gust come out of nowhere on landings, takeoff's, ect. its just a matter of time before it takes out a balsa plane.
