I am just now starting out in it. I had my first "hood" flight last weekend. I got a cheap foam plane ( $99 ) and a simple camera from hobby king. Most of the the flights so far have been flying the plane conventionally and having a helper view the laptop video feed for reliability and range. I almost crashed the first time with goggles because I got transfixed by the flying and was not paying attention to the altimeter. I do not think a 450 heli will carry the equipment. The plane is really fun and fairly cheap to learn on though.
