My first attempt at FPV flying!

After much preparation that included soldering a custom video wire harness with +5V and +12V connections, configuring my computer to accept NTSC video via USB to video capture software, and fabricating a custom aluminum mounting bracket, I finally got my EasyStar RC airplane out with hopes to fly to it from the first person view (FPV). It was a lot of effort and I got most of it right, but as you will see from this video, I didn't test it completely and could have easily avoided the mishap that went with it!
