One more thing I would like add,

Ask for help. And I don't mean in here. Sure you can pick up alot of info, however go find a pilot flying 3D.

I have hooked up with several people from RCU showing and teaching them 3D. They contacted me. I have gone to their field or they come to mine. Bonus, I have made some really good friends that way and now have additional places to fly.

The planes we have available now help alot, however a little instruction would help a bunch. I wish someone would have taught me, however 12 years ago there was no 3D, only us "CRAZY" people who flew in a different way.

If you are unable to locate a person via the net, go to some different flying fields, even if you have to drive for 2 hours. Go watch the pilots, see if there is one hovering or doing 3D and ask for some help. If you just find someone like yourself learning 3D, yall work together.

I do recomend flying 3D with someone else. It pushes you better. Kyle (Hovermaster) and I have been flying buddies for 5 years now. We push each other very hard, trying to out do each other. A few birds have been lost, however the skills have improved dramaticly for both of us. However, I still kick his ass.
