Hmm, first we need to define "wind". Here in deep south Texas, 10-15mph is considered a breeze, 15-25mph a fresh breeze and anything higher is wind.

Considering that we seldom have foamy flying conditions you either learn to fly in the wind or quit trying.

My personal experience is that my light wing loading Comp-ARF Extra handles conditions better than the smaller & heavier planes. Yes, the light aircraft is moved easily by gusts, but recovery is quicker because of lesser wing loading and inertia.

An example of a very good sport flyer in windy/gusty conditions is the H9 60-size Ultra Stick. These are set up with the quad wing control surfaces and mixing is used. 6' diameter loops? Easy. Spot landings in gusty wind? Easy.

One thing is a given - either you become proficient at flying, quickly, or you become good at replacing or repairing aircraft when flying in windy conditions.
