all forms of learning are good,videos being the least for beginners.you need the feel of the box in your hands and then relating that to the airplane you are flying.your mind,hands and fingers need to be in sync.when i first started learning to fly RC i had tunnel vision my instructor was very patient i owe my first airplanes to my instructor several times over.advanced flying i would imagine attending a professional school would be great for experienced pilots.as for me i fly weekends and occasional days during the week and to get outside and enjoy my friends and family.most of us are in this sport for the same reason.i love to watch the pros fly though always amazes me.
