No worries, I didn’t mean for that last post to sound harsh, but lots of people are trying to get into FPV who have no more experneice with RC than watching it on youtube, if you get what I mean.
Ok well first off, do not buy one of those expensive packs with “everything you need”, it’s a much better choice to start from scratch and build your own setup the way you want it.
Second thing, consider not getting the easy star. This is a big call for me to make, I know, probably more than 40% of the FPV planes out there are are easystars, but honestly they are horrible things to fly. With the rudder only setup they don’t fly with very much authority. You want something that goes where you want when you want. The Cularis is better, but those a quite big. Personally the two setups I use and recommend to people are a Funjet for low, fast flying) and an Easyglider for a more relaxed “floaty” flying.
As far as setups go, there are loads of choices, one of the biggest is the video transmission frequency you use. There are 3 main ones to choose from, 900MHz, 1.3GHz and 2.4GHz. Now it really depends on what radio you use, if you have a 2.4GHz radio you don’t want to use 2.4GHz video. I don’t really recommend 2.4GHz as that frequency is quite crowded these days, anything form WiFi routers to Bluetooth will give you interference.
Once you have chosen a radio frequency then you just need to pick a decent camera and some goggles. The goggles are the expensive bit.
I could go into depth about all these things if you like, but you really should check out or even post here: http://www.rcgroups.com/video-piloting-fpv-rpv-469/
I will say this though. One of the biggest mistakes people make getting into FPV is they want the biggest most longest range setup they can get. Think to yourself though, do you really want to fly a plane 20 miles away? That’s quite some distance.
That FPV forum I linked to above can be a bit harsh/overwhelming so I don’t mind it if you want to just keep discussing it in this thread.
Let me know what frequency radio you use and if you want a close in, fast FPV setup, or a more further out, slower setup and I can start to advise you on what you will need.
