Get Lessons First!
All this information do not replace lessons with a wise instructor. We recommend reading all information, then take lessons, and then read again with new eyes and questions? Take this advice seriously, since already many accidents have happened, which could have been avoided, if people invested for lessons, rather than paying for huge medical bills afterwards.
