Buddy box and cord attached to Instructor with some ability. You learn at your own pace, which is just as fast as you should. If you pick it up in a week fine, if it takes a year fine. As long as you are enjoying it. Welcome to RC flying!

PS: I crashed my trainer after I buddyboxed three times and thought I "had it down". [:@]But put it back together and got with it again. Had a few more BB flights and was much better.
