Don't just talk about it, get out there and do it. I've just been flying in a 35kt wind. A/c S and L, nicely trimmed for level flight indicating 80kts plus or minus 2 or 3, over the shoreline, wind off the sea, so no turbulence. Trimmed into a 15 deg turn, adjusted power to maintain height. A/c quite happily flew 360 deg turns with airspeed plus or minus 2 or 3 knots, which can be ignored for gusts.
