smoothyfp,

From the sound of this post and I few of the others I'd say you're getting information overload!!!!!

My suggestion is to stop asking questions here and start asking them at the club you plan on joining!!!! This place has a lot of info the tricky part is figuring out which advice to take and which to ignore

I think you're right. I really do appreciate everyone's help on this site. It has helped teach me a lot about getting into the hobby, but.....i do get a LOT of conflicting answers on a lot of things. I'm going out to the club field again today for my second lesson on the club trainer (which is a tail dragger, so I'm even more anxious about getting my own tricycle style trainer!!) and so i will hopefully get some more straightforward answers to my questions. But at least i got a fairly good consensus on prop size. thanks everyone!!
