I can strongly recommend taking the time & effort to visit some clubs that have good 3D pilots. The best thing that ever happened to my flying was travelling here to Texas and spending time watching, listening and talking with the excellent pilots at my local club here. Not only is it inspirational but they have excellent knowledge that they are all too happy to impart. Ironically, when I go back to visit my home country & club (which is very much a quiet Sunday club - left turns only please) they prefer me to fly sedately - it's all the reason I need to practice 3D in my book - all in good fun of course.
