First, this is not a beginners discussion. There is an AP forum where it would be better discussed.

Second - I had the opportunity several weeks ago to fly a plane that was set up FPV with VR goggles. For safety, the owner of the set up was on the master box, and I was on the buddy box with the VR goggles. He was a licensed HAM operator for the equipment. I have to say that with the correct camera and video downlink, flying FPV was one of the best experiences I've had in RC. The plane was an older 40 size trainer set up with an EVO 46. It was relatively docile, and I found it VERY easy to control the flight. I was able to fly out as far as the owner could keep the plane in visual contact. Once I got the feel for the controls, he was actually willing to let me make a VR landing, which I declined. I did fly over the runway on some approaches, and it was almost easier than doing it normally.

The wireless video technology has advanced to a scary state. It possible to put together a perfectly functioning video downlink that will operate over a few miles using commercial of the shelf technology. and it can probably be done for under $1000.
