Matt,
Here's a link to the AMA's website. They have a "Club Locater" page where you can plug in your Zip Code and get a list of clubs within an easy driving distance. (There's more of us out there than you can imagine. )

Go to the club's field on a sunny (not too windy) Saturday or Sunday and watch. Ask some questions, tell people that you're interested in trying it. Most of the clubs are very friendly and more than happy to help out a new guy. And yes, some clubs have a club trainer and will get you up to see what you think.

I have also helped a couple of new guys find local people selling trainer packages cheap. I got one guy started with trainer, radio equipment, engine and a couple spare props for $150, and it was a great trainer.

Good luck, have fun, and welcome to RCU!
