Default New to FPV, Ned Some Guideance/ Help Please

So, after a 2 year break from the RC Plane world I am back. I have about 10 years fling experience and recently(about 4 months ago) got back into flying. I enjoy the EPO/Parkflyer options nowadays as opposed to stick building and nitro like I used to do. They make it so dang easy, don't they? Anyway, I am super curious about the FPV/ Long range deal and am wanting to get my feet wet. Here is what I am looking for:

A platform and FPV system that I can fly around at a longer range. My parents have about 200 acres back home, and I am looking to be able to fly around the farm. Now, I would like to mention that I am not trying for crazy long distance as some people on here. I have seen people pushing for 100km and stuff, not really my bag. If I could have something that I could do aprox. 1-2 miles or so, Id be ecstatic.

I am considering the FX-79 Buffalo for a platform. I have been looking online for info, but the flood of different opinions and information is overwhelming. I have a fair amount of money to slap into this project, but I am not looking for a Global Hawk here, nor to push limits of FPV. Just a toy for around the farm. Any suggestions on setup and hardware would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
