Getting yourself along to a local club and seeking one-to-one instruction is the best way of learning to fly rc airplanes, no question. Most rc flying clubs will have dedicated instructors and some clubs even have a club trainer airplane for beginners to learn on, so you don't have to buy your own until you know you want to get in to the hobby for sure. Club instruction is usually undertaken with a Buddy box system; your Tx is connected to the instructor's Tx with a cable and he can give you or take away from you control of the airplane simply by flicking a switch on his Tx. It's a very safe and proven method of rc flight instruction. If you can't or don't want to join a club, and don't know anyone who flies rc planes, then self-teaching is your only other option. As previously mentioned an rc flight simulator could be invaluable in this situation, but there are many electric powered RTF airplanes out there that are suitable for the beginner. Self-teaching with a three channel airplane is easier than a four channel one but many newcomers to the hobby do successfully self-teach with a four channel plane, it's just that the learning curve is a bit steeper.
BMFC would always recommend that you join a club and get one on one instruction as there are many elements that you would not learn by self teaching.
