Default RE: Getting started is so dang hard

I'm glad it turned out well for you. It is a very good deal which is what surprised me so much. Sorry for my previous negative attitude. If you are ever in doubt it does pay to ask, call or e-mail them for clarification.

Now as for: "I think I'll just go to the field or something but how am I gonna get help from somebody."
I would say, "Just ask for it". What do you have to lose? I'm sure you will find they are willing to help you get started properly. I think you are making some of this harder than it needs to be.
Ask the first pilot you see to point out an instructor to you and then go over and introduce yourself. Then explain your situation and desires and go from there.
Have all of your equipment with you(in your car, not in your hands) as ready to go as you can. He will probably tell you to go and get it so he(or another instructor) can check it out. Different clubs operate in different ways so I can't predict everything.
Good luck and just be patient HEHE
