36, just got into this hobby and damn there sure is a learning curve.

My Tx is a Spektrum DX6 Gen 3, so if anyone has a DX6 and a multi rotor, please please let me know,

Welcome James! I don't have a DX6 but I do have a DX8 (and a few multirotors too). I'm in the Finger Lakes region of NY - where upstate are you?

First off. Welcome IceRook! 
This is a great place for advice and learning, as we all start in the same place. Here is a good reference of Tips and Excersizes from Oscars Blog if you're interested.

Welcome James! The learning curve is steeper at the beginning, but hang in there. It gets awesome!

Hey James,

The learning curve luckily is exponential as Paul suggests. 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!

overcoming that learning curve is one of the most satisfying things
don't be afraid to ask question
welcome!

It so is!

and I can confirm... as someone who is starting to get into the "oh I get it" range a little bit... it's WAY worth it!

exercising your brain is very satisfying! 

30+ is the right age to get into this welcome..

Yeah, at 37 I'm also midlife crisis age  ! 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

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!

Young enough to be willing to sink our cash into a pit... old enough to be patient as we learn a useless but incredibly pleasurable thing... 

Yeah I would say that's 30+ :p 

(I am 35 BTW)... Still considering the 'Vette btw Tom...
