Hello all.
I'm a complete newbie to RC planes so have had to learn from the ground up. My only other experience with RC is a quadcopter built around the Arducopter platform.

I haven't looked too much into the FPV side of things yet. Still reading up and taking notes! Shall update post with pics along the way.
Thanks :)

Cool Tone, welcome aboard the fun bus! :D
I wouldnt think too much about the FPV side of things right now, get your skysurfer flying and get comfortable flying it line of sight first.
Have fun!

that's Good advice, I agree with Steve.
you could always put a small Key ring camera on it, and start getting used to the area you fly in from an Ariel view.
Good Luke :) G
+1, get LOS skills in place before trying FPV, but good choice on the plane :)
