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 :)
