Can you point me in the right direction to start learning about how to do this?Mostly no, but if you are using the DJI FPV radio, and you have an air unit in the plane connected to a betaflight flight controller, then in theory yes you can.
I have been wanting to do FPV ever since I was a teenager, and the high image quality of the DJI FPV system really got me excited to try it.Dont mean to sound negative but its kind of one of those things that, if you have to ask, you're not quite ready young jedi...
Having an air unit in a plane, flown by the DJI controller, is a cool prospect but very complicated and expensive. There are a ton of ways to get an excellent fpv system up and running much easier and much less expensive.
It's tough to start out big and complicated with FPV, very easy to get discouraged and burn out. I hate to see that happen to people.
I've seen some fpv setups for less, but honestly the DJI image quality is as low as I'm willing to use. I'm a little discouraged with the low quality of analog systems I've seen.I hate to see anyone burn $800+ when you could do the job for $80!
Here's a link to an rc plane that has the option to make fpv:I recently bought this setup and have been having soooo much fun with it! It's about $100 so not too expensive and it's an easy fun way to get into FPV!

If you also need a transmitter this is a decent one and not too expensive. There are cheaper brands that others will mention and recommend but I've been using spektrum for a while now and honestly the ease of use and simplicity is worth it.

With these three things, you have everything you need to fly fpv for just about $180. They are all compatible and are super easy to bind to each other, and if you need any help just ask and I can help you out. It should be super straight forward. The DJI system is good but hey - you'll crash a couple time as you are starting out and something like an inductrix is only like $60 if you have to replace it. I've had a ton of crashes with mine, but haven't had any issues with mine. All I did was buy a new set of props since the ones that came with it kept coming off every time I crashed. Plus, this setup is great for just figuring out if you like fpv flying. I haven't tried flying an airplane with my fpv gear but I think horizon offers an fpv combo for the umx radian and umx sportcub s which I think would cost about $150. Again, there will be folks who will list and suggest other ways of starting in fpv, which might be cheaper and stuff, but since it sounded like you were getting a little discouraged, I just wanted to post a couple cheap and simple options that are super easy to start off with that won't take a lot of time and skill to get going. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Have fun!

I had a plane very similar to this quite a few years back. It was my first plane. I had a lot of fun with it, and I guess it was that plane that sparked an interest in fpv in the first place.Here's a link to an rc plane that has the option to make fpv:

It's $130 for EVERYTHING you need to fly. So it eliminates all the guess work - it includes the motor, esc, servos, propeller, battery, charger, transmitter, so once it comes, you can go to a field and start flying - nothing else needed. Also, if you scroll down on the page there is a video showing to add fpv gear.
Very sage advice. Flying as well as those guys takes a lot of practice.
