FPV - how hard can it be?
Here's my very first FPV platform, for dedicated video flying. What could possibly go wrong? 
I guess time will tell, but this Easy Star has been doing nothing, and I have spare equipment, so time to try it out, somewhere very, very remote.
Two wearable groundstations, 5.8 patch, which I will try to keep orientated on the plane. Pretty basic, but the airframe is quite sturdy, with good power.
Might try my first FPV this week. Spotter? I don't have one, but I wouldn't mind one. I will be sure to be over unpopulated farm land the entire first few flights.
