COREY!!!!
You!!!! Welcome to de Club! Oh yeah.... everything you've red is true. This is unquestionably THE BEST type club around.
Make it the BEST club ANYWHERE. Super folks here.
On thing - don't fall in love with an plane. A sexy paint job and slick panel are nice, but they can hide a multiude of sins. Sometimes the dingy looker is the best one. Kinda like the cheerleader in high school that ends up ....well..... you know. As opposed to the wallflower that ya meet at the 10 or 15-year reunion that you can't (and nobody else can) take their eyes off because she's a total knockout.
Go slow. There's no rush. Get Mike Arman's book - available in the club store. It's worth it. Remember, it's a major purchase, and if done right, one that can the unending honeymoon (I'm in my third year ;), or a pilot for a reality TV show on walking on burning coals.
Ask questions - there are no dumb ones. If you don't understand, ask again until you do. Be anal about maintainance. Airworthiness directives complied with? What about ongoing issues and look for complete logbooks.
I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination. There are a bunch of very knowledgable folks here itchin' to be constructive.
Best of luck to ya!
AND KNOCK IT OUT!!!!!
