Unless your .60 is sitting up high in the tree tops, you won't likely find it with a downlinked video system. I would look for other means to locate it first. I'm sure you guys did a search already. How did that go?

Most of us buy from BWAV, http://www.blackwidowav.com/. You would then need a GPS and an overlay board.

ok whats a gps and overlay board and i must have that?

You don't need them to fly. But in your post above you indicated you wanted to see the "longitude;latitude and mph the plane is flying so i can moniter while i fly". This is generally done with a GPS unit and a video overlay board. Take a look at this older poor quality video I have posted. It shows what the GPS and overlay board do for you.
