Where do I go to Learn??

[Unstable 9]

Hey Everybody!
I'm kinda a low timer over at the Kansas State University Parachute Club, and i'm doing what i can to further myself as a skydiver.
Out of all the diciplins I've seen, CReW interests me the most, and i would really like to find a coach or someone to help me learn. I understand that a skydiver can only focus on one thing at a time, and i would be willing to put all my focus on learning proper and safe CReW.
The problem is i don't know where to turn for coaching out here in Kansas. At our DZ, there are mayb e 3 or 4 people with limited CReW knowledge, maybe they've docked once or twice, none of which would be experienced enough to teach a newbie to do CReW safely and effectivly. I haven't the faintest idea where to turn.
Does Anybody know a jumper in Kansas (KSUPC, Skydive Kansas, Skydive Suppesville, Air Capitol, Skydive Witchita) that would take on a student like myself? I'd drive to whatever DZ in the state i would need to.

I'm currently jumping a PD193 7-cell, wingloading it about .9:1, Is this approp. for learning CReW?

Any Advice or comments are welcome! my reqular email is:

Thanks!!
