  What is First Person View?  also known as FPV. The term is used describing what someone would be seeing if they where their in-person. Example: If you placed a video camera on your forehead and allowed someone to watch your views via video link, they would be watching the first person views of what ever your looking at. So the term FPV caught on with the help of one of the pioneers of FPV piloting (cyber-flyer*) in the use of wireless video camera(s) to pilot a Remote Controlled heli/plane/car from the driver/pilot seat. With the assistance of a wireless transmitter/ receiver the user will see what the aircraft sees. This gives the user a real sense of controlling there aircraft/vehicle in the skies or on the ground. Most of the people who enjoy FPV piloting and do well with it are typically persons who like video simulation games like flight simulators, auto racing and also full-size aircraft pilots. they all seem to pick with ease.

The uses of FPV are vast for all kinds of fun projects. So be safe, have fun and follow all local, state and national laws.

The Mission         

This Site is here to cover projects relating to FPV wireless camera equipment, GPS, On-Screen Displays, Head-Trackers, etc...and how to use them with your R/C aircraft /vehicle.  

    First Person View piloting seems to be coming a big part in the future of radio controlled hobbies and this site is here to help others to gain some understanding to get involved. Since FPV piloting is fairly new idea to the RC hobbyist, it maybe difficult to get started.  It's a new way to pilot RC and this can make most hobbyist confused when researching for it along with all the information on the net so we'll stick to the basics here. Regardless if FPV piloting is for you or not, we hope you gain some information that will help you in the future with your RC hobby.
   We want to help the new FPV pilot who is looking for the fun part of this hobby and not wanting to spend hours or days deciphering all the forum info relating to FPV. You can easily get lost in all the "jibber jabber" and different equipment being used and developed for it. We hope to make it easier to understand so you may better enjoy this exciting part of the hobby.
In no way do we think we'll be able to answer all of your questions but hope this site will help you with the basics. If you have questions that haven't been answered here please check out the FPV Links Page for more info.
