I have a Skyhunter also with fpv gear in it as well. Since you are not going to use it for long range all you need is a video transmitter with antenna and a video receiver. I assume that you already have a radio and receiver for your servos. There are tons of youtube videos on how to set everything up for fpv and some even show how to set up a skyhunter for fpv. As to where to buy your fpv gear........there are many vendors out there. What I do is search and see where I can get a better deal for what I'm looking for. I use Getfpv, Amazon, Banggood USA, and many more. Hope this helps and let us know how the build is going. Happy and Safe flying!

There is a system that is rather easy to set up (plug and play) called ZOHD Kopilot that has OSD and I am thinking about getting one myself. However, the OSD is somewhat limited. It is for pilots that don't wont to deal with complicated flight controllers, learning to use inav, flashing software and all that stuff. You can read all about it.........just google it. I think it does come with a GPS for direction and "Return to Home" in case you get in trouble.
