Hi all! First post on these boards. I found these boards through the videos from RC Model Reviews. I have to say I love the reviews and honesty
in the reviews.
I'm still a newbie to R.C. flying. I started with fixed pitch helicopters and the headaches of flying and repairing them. I stumbled upon a Harbor Freight
glider and instantly fell in love with it. Since then I've been flying an FPV Raptor and love it and also a new Phoenix Evolution X. I also have an 808 #16 and #18 and love flying with my cameras on them. I'm really getting into electric gliders. They are a joy to fly.
So now I want to to get into basic FPV. I'm in Indiana and I use a Spektrum DX6i. I know I need to start small and all I want to do is fly out at most a mile. Two miles would be awesome. I'm looking for advice on good and solid equipment to buy.
I'm not sure where to start. I've visited other boards but they all seem heavily into it and I'm a little intimidated. I'm looking for basic advice for a basic set up and equipment, things I can buy at a good price online and put it all together. Also, it's not mandatory for me to start out with goggles. I would be OK flying by sight while sending the video signal back to a monitor for another person to watch. After I successfully do that I would then make the jump to goggles. I'm willing to take it slow and start basic and build up.
So, I have the gliders and the receivers/TX. Now I need the camera/video TX and the video receiver. Where do I start?
Thanks!
