jetmech05's advice is excellent, no reason for spinning eyes.

He means that the model will behave the same if the wind is steady, but not if it is gusty.
Your eyes will see it drift or slow down in one direction, but the thing is flying as always respect to the air; nothing to worry about.

Gusts create suddenly forces coming from any direction.
Suddenly forces create accelerations (F=ma), which you see as movements (rolls, pitches and yaws around the CG) in undesired directions.
The bigger the mass, the smaller the acceleration and movement for the same intensity of gust.
The better the aerodynamic of the plane (low drag), the less the force that the same gust will create (the gust of air needs to "grab" the model to shake it; hence, the sleeker the less sensible).

Same reasoning applies for big surfaces far away from the CG; hence, less wing span and tail lenght is better (more compact geometry).

A 10 lb / 24 oz-sqft draggy biplane will handle gusty winds worst than a 10 lb / 24 oz-sqft aerodynamically clean racer.

Beefy landing gear would be a good design criteria, since landings can be rought due to turbulence close to the ground.
