wednesday and sunday are both very popular flying days! go join a club for sure! ask questions, some guys here drive an extra 20 minutes past a more local HS to get to one that all of them really like and have great dealings with, but i just use a hobby shop i have been going to for quite some time in my parents hometown, the one i grew up in, i just stock up when i go in to visit, the guy at that shop is super to deal with and i will be moving back in about 2 years from now so it is good to stay faithful to him bc i will probably use him the rest of my life once i get settled in on the family farm.. find a LHS that you like and stick with them, they will only treat you better as the years go by!
