anyone know, if it exists, a place i can travel to for , lets say a week, to learn 3d with a pro?

No such. Give me a little notice on a weekend you're going flying (somewhere other than the club) and I'll come out and give you a hand and some pointers.

No school or "pros" per se but if you get a chance to come hangout with the TUFF club here in Tyler, Texas you'll get a crash course... LOL. Seriously, our club has many active and accomplished 3D pilots that are always willing to share anything that might be of some help... Now with all that being said, your answer will still be in the bottom of a used up 55 gal barrel of fuel...

PlaneBender had one going for a while....

You could go to two or three huckfests that are within your proximity. Find a really good pilot and just start chatting it up.

Burn gas, lots of gas!

I think this would bea great idea to be able to learn from a professional for a couple of days. I would definately pay for that

Seth Arnold credits his time with Dave Scott as the turning point in his competitive piloting. As a teacher myself, I find Dave's methods to be very sound, and his books are absolutely amazing. You would learn lots in a week with him, I believe.

Not to mention that Dave is a really good guy... He has a tremendous amount of knowledge in his head... Also is a full scale competitive aerobatic pilot

Dave Scott is a fantastic teacher and attending his school is an experience you will enjoy. It is a week of solid flying and instruction and you will learn and comprehend more in that time than you will in a summer of flying on your own. Unfortunately his school is booked solid from May to September a year or more in advance. I will travel from NJ and my buddy travels from Winnipeg, Manitoba for our 5th year this summer to spend a week with Dave. It is that good.

yes, that is what i was looking for, maybe somewhere i could go, i would pay the person for the service, and fly maybe 5 to 7 hours each day, of course, not full time flying, for 5 days or so, i would travel there and take 3 or 4 of my planes. that was what i was thinking of doing.

wow, just saw that website. it would be 17 hour drive for me. but next available is in 2014!!
