i doubt it but the more wind there is the harder it will be.
As with most air RC, a simulator will save you a lot of time and money.
Theres a free one ( google FMS simulator) and a simple controller is abot 30 bucks.
There's an endless disscusiion on the "reality" of simulators but they at the very least teach you some basic control skills.
Good luck

If you have no flying experience. Don't expect immediate results when you fly a kite, compare to those high wings trainer plane.
For a kite, it will take a long while before you can fly comfortably. Time spent on a simulator do helps to hasten the learning curve. As for those trainer planes, I do see newbies flying on their 1st flight (no aileron), but that is when some pro did the take-off for them.
Both trainer planes and kites, are affected when the wind is strong. But can be overcome when your flying skills gets better overtime.
When it comes to crashes/repairs, the kite is easier to repair. Kites are not fast and the flying characteristic is not as enjoyable as a plane. A bit erractic with its quick twist and turns. But the kite do not need as much airspace as the planes.
The above is my personal opinion, some people may defer from them.
Hope this helps.
PS: Can't comment on heli. No experience with them. I understand it is alot more difficult to learn. But they are a pleasure to look at, once the pilot attain competence over the controls.
