[moved] transmit live video from radio-controlled airplane?

[argens]

I am learning for myself. Had this idea to mount such a uC to my RC airplane with a connected camera (probably pin-camera), send the signal via wifi to my receiver and watch it fly on my screen just like in video games ^^.

Hobby stores sell them. Many model airplanes and helicopters have transmitted video built in. The video system is called FPV and transmits on 5.8GHZ so it does not interfere with 2.4GHz radio controls.
You are the pilot and you wear a headset goggles display. Some people use a laptop computer for the display but it is difficult to see in sunlight.

As Audioguru mentioned this is basically the idea of FPV

I happened to see a video of someone doing a DIY build of this recently at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt6kYWbMQIM
