The great FPV book (PoD)

Which model pilot is not tempted to experience the view from the cockpit? In recent years, a new offshoot of our hobby has developed: FPV flight – First Person View – the view from the cockpit. Equipped with remote control, video goggles or a monitor, you too can fly your model aircraft from the pilot's perspective! Jörg Pfister explains the basic terms of radio transmission and imparts the necessary basic knowledge to get deeper into the hobby of FPV. This book will give you the answers to what will surely be many of your questions about this still rather young branch of model flying.
