Hi there all!
I've slowly been getting into the fpv quads but I've been flying anything and everything RC for about 40 years. I've found these things to have a rather steep learning curve between flying and all the software to learn.
I'm up to 5, 250 class and 6 indoor class micros. I'm here to learn more and help others where I can.

Matt

Hi Matt and welcome!

I'm doing things in the reverse order and started off with multirotors a few years ago and just started building my first fixed wing. Smile

Welcome Matt!  I followed much the same route as you (fixed wing LOS for 10 years).  Just in case any of your fixed wing buds are giving you any grief for flying quads, let them wear your goggles for a bit - that tends to win them over pretty quickly... Cool

You definitely won't get any grief here - good to have you! Big Grin

Hey Matt,

Welcome! This is a good site. The steep learning curve is steep but that's been a big part of the fun for me.
