My Tx is a Spektrum DX6 Gen 3, so if anyone has a DX6 and a multi rotor, please please let me know, • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 Welcome James! I don't have a DX6 but I do have a DX8 (and a few multirotors too).

At first... everything is a barrier to entry... later as you learn more and more it starts to get easier to pick up on things. hammer away at it, and don't let the 5 hours of research and 3 weeks of waiting on something to ship keep you from digging in and really figuring things out and in no time you'll start to find a method to how you learn different stuff... eventually you'll be learning everything so fast that you're brain will have trouble keeping up with what you just managed to accomplish! carl.vegas Current Quads: Operational: Diatone GT2 200 In need of repair: Bumble Bee, tehStein, Slightly modified Vortex 250 Posts: 5,315 Threads: 672 Likes Received: 3,155 in 1,743 posts Likes Given: 2,030 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 overcoming that learning curve is one of the most satisfying things don't be afraid to ask question welcome!

Gotta say, love to see guys new to the forum welcoming others on the intro pages! Welcome guys, you'll find intoFPV an active wealth of information from some scarily well informed and massively helpful people. Edit to add: I did not mean to inadvertently include myself in the aforementioned group of helpful people, I am definitely more of the helpless variety Windless fields and smokeless builds Posts: 1,773 Threads: 30 Likes Received: 1,199 in 755 posts Likes Given: 714 Joined: Oct 2016 Reputation: 45 Welcome to the forum James. I'm not too far away from you, I live near the shores of Lake Erie, half way between Toronto & Windsor. And yes, this hobby has quite a learning curve. Seems the more I learn, the less I know!
