I've used FPV once and lost the plane, how can I help?
Do you plan on going way out or anything?
You can run a basic FPV setup in the 5.8 range for a fairly simple setup. GetFPV has (or used to have) pretty much everything you’d need and it’s mostly plug and play.
Haven’t messed with crossfire.

Oh gawd, I was gonna warn you about YG. That dude flies a 15lb foamy Apprentice because he "fixed" it.
Haha fantastic. What do you think the best starting plane would be? I started small but I'm not experienced enough to know if I took the boring route.
Fantastic. So much info. Thank you! How long have you been flying?I have a couple of the EFlite FPV little quads and have had a blast with them. My only issue is short battery life.
I also set up a Parkzone T-28 with an FPV camera on a home made (couple of servos glued together) gimbal in the cockpit which was really cool. It was tight to head tracking and worked through the planes Rx. It was lots of fun, but not being able to stop and give like a quad can make it a little more “exciting”.
I have the large version of the Opterra but never got around to putting the camera in it and have only used it to record GoPro footage.
If you are considering a plane I would say a trainer is the best way to go. Something with a gyro stability option makes it much easier to remove the headset for landing. Or even land with the headset on. I don’t really know that I can recommend a specific one though since I mostly played with the T-28 gimbal setup.
Keep in mind that over 25mw or whatever it is you technically need a HAM technicians license. Easy to get really. And you’ll probably never be asked to provide it unless you fly somewhere you probably shouldn’t.

I've no clue since I've had 1 personal experience. Small (and slow?) may well be the ticket until you gain experience. Are you on Rcgroups . com or similar? You'll get better / current info there.Haha fantastic. What do you think the best starting plane would be? I started small but I'm not experienced enough to know if I took the boring route.

Idk, 6-7 years I guess. Maybe 8.
Last year was a bit of a wash though.

I am not, I'll hop on over asap. This is a rather weird place to look for fpv I guessI've no clue since I've had 1 personal experience. Small (and slow?) may well be the ticket until you gain experience. Are you on Rcgroups . com or similar? You'll get better / current info there.

Definitely small and slow. Less damage if there’s a crash, lol.
I’ve seen some people do a lot with the UMX radian FPV.

Planes can glide to a minimal damage landing w/o power, quads not so much.Quad damage is bad, I can't imagine an entire plane!
You know it's been a while when the years start to meld together. That's absolutely fantastic. Did covid kill your flying schedule? I feel like stay at home orders would increase it!
