Hi there. I'm a newbie.

Over the holiday weekend, my brother visited with his trainer airplane and I've fallen in love with the idea of giving this hobby a try.

I know I need to get a trainer and take my time and find a teacher and all that kind of stuff. Right now, i'm spending a lot of time reading and learning and making sure I know what I am doing.

Unfortunately, I'm having a lot of problem following a lot of forum discussions I'm reading. The terminology is rather daunting. For example, I read a nice long thread about engines and before long it delved into a series of postings about various prop sizes. What's an 8x6? What's a 10x12? (this is just an example)

Can anyone recommend a really good "everything you never wanted to know" website or book that would explain all of these little nuances? I want to have an idea what I'm readin' about :-)

Thanks
