Before you go out spending a lot of money ( that you don't need to ) go to one of the local clubs and talk to the folks there. They will give you a lot of info. and steer you in the right direction, possibly with their club. As an instructor I like to have a little say in what a new student comes in with. In that respect I suggest that you find someone ( an instructor ) at a club that you think you would be able to work with and let them assist you with what you need. Bragging, but that will probably be the best advice you can get.

Be a little weary of all the info you will get and hopefully your instructor will steer you in the right direction. Everyone wants to help but sometimes it's more then you need. Man that was hard for me to wright. ( some of you will understand that ) lol. Take the time to look and check things out. ENJOY !!! RED
