I'm not too familiar with flysky... but you can either boost the 2.4 or go to UFH... either will work, you'll have to look into the details of how to do that with your specific gear...
i'd be less worried about your ability to fly, and more about learning how to solder!
I actually had a buddy of mine with virtually ZERO RC flying experience out this weekend while I was flying my FPV hawkeye. I gave him controls multiple times but he had a heck of a time flying LOS. I put the goggles on him and he was shooting gaps FPV in minutes, even landing to change batteries with ease. Granted, he is a gamer and flicking sticks is not a new skill for him I was impressed at how natural the FPV flying can be for some people and how awkward it truly is landing a plan thats flying towards you...
The big problem is crashing... you WILL crash. One thing you learn quickly is that it can be hard to find something you've crashed FPV behind your house... a whole new challenge to find it 2 miles away. I've been on this ranch my whole life, 5th generation to do so. I know the surrounding 100 square miles like the back of my hand... and despite that, 3 years ago I hung a coat on a tree while moving cows horseback and I've not seen that tree since... If you land in a tree on some BLM spread you've never seen from the ground in your life... you'll never find it.
Thats how these FPV setup keep expanding... sure a simple UHF and 5.8 can go for miles, but what if you have gear failure? what if your goggles battery die unexpectedly? Then you need step up to something with GPS and RTH. Thats why I've got Pixhawk...
but, like I said before, my best long range FPV can't beat my Phantom! Sure I can get more distance, more time aloft, but without that HD video link (I literally can read cows brands and ear tags from MILES away) whats the point?
All this rambling brings me back around to the Camera/TX combo...
If all you really want to do is haul A$$ through some obstacles with a fixed wing, build it small, make it durable, keep it close, and fly a combo... if you want to get good video from 2 miles away, fly a phantom... if you want to see how far you can go just for kicks and giggles, UHF and long range video with a go pro mounted somewhere so when (if) you find it you will have good 4k video of whatever it did while you were looking through the 1000 TVL camera...
**EDIT: Fly a GOOD combo** (since you guys were picking on the combos earlier!
)
