*** Description up-dated. See recommendations of how to get started below *** Collection of my favorites flights in 2009-2010 over Northeastern (Ceará) and Southeastern (Rio de Janeiro) gorgeous coast of Brazil. These images were shot by a micro hi-def camera onboard a radio controlled airplane with live transmission to video goggles, so I can pilot through the cockpit view. This modality is called “Remote Video Piloting” (or FPV – First Person View – within the RC community). Various planes and cameras used, but mainly the Skywalker/Easyglider Pro and GoPro/Aiptek HD1/Jazz178. Music is “Flying in a blue dream” from Joe Satriani. ****************************Recommendations ******************************** Would you like to get into this wonderful hobby? Start by learning to fly RC planes, then you add the camera and video goggle. If you don´t have building experience, I strongly recommend a quality RTF kit (ready to fly) of an electric foam pusher plane (simple, cheap, unharmful). The classic (and still great) choice is the EasyStar RTF, but I currently find the Revolectrix Funjet with built in flight stabilization and 2.4Ghz radio an even better choice. It sells for under US$300 online. Once you complete 10 consecutive flights with NO incident (this might take a while, take your time and have fun), you might be ready to start FPV. I suggest the FatShark Goggle aviator kit with 5.8Ghz integrated video receiver and a CCD killer camera. This combo sells for a little over US …

This is one of the better FPV vids i have watched and the time you took to add the info is VERY rare and VERY appreciated. You are also right: FPV is NOT the place to begin RC for newbies. one should not even THINK about flying FPV until one has the experience in RC AND with the plane that will be used for FPV so that flying feels like natural second nature. I that plane does not feel like an extension of YOU then do NOT put cams/etc on it. You will lose it all. RC/FPV are earned skills. Thanks!
