Good advice indeed. Also bear in mind that many of the best RC flyers around became great flyers well before the first simulators came on the market. Come to think of it, I suppose the same could be said to apply to full scale as well, Dolittle, Yeager, etal.

One can learn to fly without assistance. Not as easily as with a competent instructor, but it can be done. In fact it can be done solo ,with the proper airplane, easier, and at less expense, than with an incompetent instructor. The primary concern should be to put no one at risk.
