Umm, I mean the Champ will carry a little extra weight but how much is your FPV system going to weigh?

It may mean a repower to carry your system, then with more added weight of the power plant, and the FPV you may need to beef up the wing/H stab to support the load.

I see your points, but i would like to add that many people, myself included, have flown the champ with a keychain cam. at the minimum its ads 18grams + a gram or two to tape it or w/e to the plane. I have heard that ultra micro FPV systems are only about 8-10grams. So, it does seem viable.

idk though, need someone who has tried it?
