Prongs95, there are three places you need to go, in this order, as a beginner:
1) The AMA website to find a club that has an instructor to help you
2) The local club flying field to meet with an instructor as well as other members to get recommendations on what to look for at stop number three
3) The local hobby shop or online source to find a trainer, power source, radio gear, preferably a radio that can use a "buddy box". Depending on your power source, your ground support equipment will vary so that is something I will leave to the people at the field to help you with
