I'm no Preacher of Doom and Gloom, but I have to be honest when I say I think our future of FPV flight is on Barrowed Time.
I make this observation by the amount of fpv video's out there and some "horror" stories if you will...Common sense...or that little voice in our heads is never wrong, what makes me write this little doo-diddy is that there seems to be an increasing frequency to "close calls" and a little part of me dies every time I log onto RCG and run across "You Better Read This!".
I'd say that 99 percent of us have common sense when it comes to flying a model airplane LOS or otherwise, and that's probably being generous, But it's only going to Take that "One Incident" that ruins it for everyone.
Common Sense should tell you it's not a matter of "If"....it's "When"....and if your not hearing that...then you probably have no common sense.
So let's enjoy our FPV while we have it and remember we are Sharing the airspace with civilian Aircraft, and make mental notes of whats below you...just in case of loss of control...fly safe.

For those of You like myself that have crappy printers but better Measuring equipment, here are the dimensions I came up with by scaling the original PDF using pixels per square inch.
My PDF copy was exactly 100 pixels per 1.00" inch. The GP patch I made is working fantasticaly!
PS: dont use this copy I posted for printing and pasting, it is only posted for dimensions.

I came up with this Idea after the first round of twisted rods, I will let ya'll know if it holds up.

The parkzone Paint not holding up though
