I would have to say that the F86 is not going to work out as a fpv airplane. The bulk of the interior space in that plane is air ducting, not really any place to install a camera/vid transmitter. I would say you'd be better off looking at a high wing telemaster type plane. First because it will be more stable and slower, and two because you can hang the camera between the landing gear and not worry about having to belly it in.

As far as your fpv setup, you will have to solder connections between the camera and the transmitter. Also, to get signals out you would need to solder rca connectors to the receiver to plug into your monitor. Also you will have to solder a connector for the antenna. Range will depend on the location of your transmitting antenna, and what kind of receiving antenna you use. A directional antenna will extend your range quite a bit, but it's pricey and you don't have the onboard gps to send positional data back to the antenna.
thanks!

well, i don't have to worry about the F86 because my next plane will probably be from a RC swapnext weekfrom a local MNRC group that i found out yesterday
