Status: offline 		sorry im new...

basically i was wondering if it was possible or if any one has, to take an rc plane and get a radio with amazing range, and then attach a camera in the plane or on it and have instant play back on a screen that the pilot can see and then fly the plane to another airfield or place using the screen as your only input of what the plane is doing.

I know problems might include fuel or battery
range on the radio
not being able to control the plane with just the screen

P.S I'm just a 14yr old with big ideas sorry if i'm wasting your time

I'd rather see what my plane is doing than view what my plane is seeing.
