Can you explain little bit more about the live-transmitting ??

Sure Rifo.

On board the plane you must have a camera, transmitter and a lipo battery to power them, however you can use the same lipo battery that powers the plane if you want (I do). When you buy a transmitter you'll have to choose a frequency and the power. Some transmitters may be too powerful or the wrong frequency for legal use in your country. You also must not use the same frequency that is being used to control your plane! Anyway I use 5800mhz which is good for distance and the equipment is small, however it's not good for penetrating objects so I can't fly the plane behind trees or buildings. If I wanted to do that though then I could easily buy the equipment for a lower frequency

Then on the ground you have a receiver, also powered by a lipo battery. With the right cables you can then connect the receiver to a laptop, purpose made monitor, or goggles. All this equipment can be bought can be bought on various FPV (first person view) websites.

Also there are many different types of aerials for you're receiver and transmitter. I'd highly recommendatory using circularly polarised aerials, they will keep the image more stable and reduce flickering.

That's the basics, but don't hesitate to ask more questions. If you want to do some research yourself, this type of flying is called FPV.
