I'd also suggest reading a lot of the questions posted in the Beginners forum about getting started, then go to the FAQ's page and read a bunch more. This site is filled with great information, and asking questions will usually get good answers, but most of the questions you're going to have right now have been answered a couple dozen times. You can also do "searches" for answers to questions.

Try a search on "Trainer" or "Beginner", or "second plane". You'll find more info than you can read in a week. [X(]

Welcome and good luck,
