Default How to get started in FPV planes?

I really want to get into FPV but I'm having a hard time figuring out where to get the equipment. I have experience with flying nitro and building planes from balasa wood so building will easy. I also am good with electronics and RF I build alot of my own antennas and HAM radios.

I was thinking of finding an electric "foamy" and putting an FPV set up in the canopy. But how does this work? Does the radio and screen come as one unit? Or is everything separate? I don't even know what shops sell this let alone what brands are good. I was going to get a drone but they seem to be limited because everything is idiot proofed. It would be nice if the radio was separate and I could could move it from one airplane to the next as I got bored with that model.

Any good DIY or you tube video channels?
