This project was a pilot project for implementing a FPV experience to a small UAV called the dolphin. 5.8GHz video telemetry was used for piloting. The payload for video telemetry was too heavy for the airplane and suffered poor altitude control but had a successful flight and insights for future projects.
The next project can be followed here which was implemented on a larger aircraft with flight stabilization.
Details
The plane turned out to be too heavy to fly. While still being able to fly, the plane had problems in climbing due to the lack of power.
