One last piece of advice. You don't have a buddy cord so you and the instructor will have to pass the transmitter to each other. He will be standing next to you with a worried look on his face wondering how you got this far in life not knowing your left from your right. Here is the important advice, it may save you much money. If (when) the instructor says give it to me he means NOW this second. Just do it! Or if he takes the tx out of your hand do not resist. Give it to him it probably means you are heading into a difficult situation and seconds count. With a buddy cord the instructor always has control and can allow you to make and learn from mistakes. All this advice is overwhelming but if you are of average intelligence you will catch on quickly. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to get the hang of it and in a couple of weeks you will be here with us scaring other newbies. Always remember Murphy's law......If anything can go wrong, it will
go wrong.

Good luck.
