Hello, greetings and salutations. 
I'm very new to this whole fpv thing. I've yet to fly fpv, though I do have several quads with cameras. The first I got was a Mavic Pro. I found it deceptively easy to fly but got a couple of toy grade quads to practice crashing. Got to where I could fly LOS somewhat, but was intrigued by fpv. Got a Taranis QX7 and FPVFreerider. Hooked them up after much grief following instructions on YouTube that were wrong. Practiced, practiced, practiced until I felt it was time to start crashing fpv quads. Selected one horrible brushed quad and one, hopefully, great brushless. Bound them to the Q7, found Cleanflight and Betaflight. Made so many mistakes I had to back away and start reading some more. Still haven't gotten either quad in the air, but I've not quit.
I know no one in the area flying quads, but I'm hoping that will change soon. Have a friend interested, but he's behind me in the steep learning curve.
I'm a very old man to be learning to fly, but I love it. So, there you have it. Oh, the quads other than the Mavic Pro?
Hubsan X4 H107L, Syma X11, Q7 360 degrees.

Hopeful fpv: Aurora Arfun 95 Pro

Welcome James and glad to have you!
I have heard great things about the Arfun 95s.
You found the best place for help in the learning curve here at IntoFPV. We have some very knowledgeable active people here.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm looking forward to getting one of these fav's off the ground this week so I'll probably be haunting the place for some answers.
One good pick and one bad pick on the quads isn't so bad if you're just starting out I guess.
Thanks again for the welcome!

Welcome to the forum! I hope you're able to get something off the ground this week!

Thanks, I actually do feel welcome. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and respond. Makes a hectic learning curve feel less lonely.

Welcome! Keep at it! It's a steep learning curve indeed but also very rewarding.
I remember my first Acro flight ...

Cheers!

Welcome James

Hi and welcome to the intoFPV World, James!

Welcome to the forum James. I'm getting up there in years too, but every time I fly, I feel young again

Welcome James, glad to have you here with us along for the journey. I've been sharing my own journey of learning with this site and I know that without it the journey wouldn't be nearly as fun.

To echo about the learning curve, it's a pain but as the quad starts to do what you want it to do based on movements that you make via muscle memory... all that frustration turns into "I can do the impossible!"
