I've finally taken the dive and bought a 900MHz 200mW system with the PAL520 camera. I haven't ordered an EZcap yet, but that'll happen sometime soon. I've been keen to try FPV for quite a while and settled on this system as a starter based on a considerable amount of feedback online.
One thing I'm curious about, everyone puts FPV systems on rear/pusher prop planes like the Bixler etc., and all the specialist FPV planes are similarly configured. I'm curious if anyone's put FPV gear on a normal configuration plane. I've got a Tuff Trainer and will soon have a j3 cub that are very stable slow flyers and can carry the extra weight. I was thinking that the best camera position on these might be below the landing gear, pointed slightly down (fixed camera at this stage). Has anyone mounted FPV gear on a forward engine plane, and if so, where did you put the camera and how well did it work?
