im new to this. Just picked up a used Arris 250 fpv. Not sure on the model. Radiolink at9, eachine vr007 goggles. Problem is the goggles don't get a picture. Went through all the channels I get nothing but white noise. The TS5823S has a red light on it so it is getting power. Any help would be great.

Make sure you are in the right band and not just on the correct channel, and that your antennas connectors match (SMA to SMA or RP-SMA to RP-SMA).
Sounds like you are cycling through just the channels and not the bands.

First quad?

I don't agree with this statement. LOS is so different from FPV. I flew all sorts of small quads before getting my 210mm setup. Didn't help at all.
Also, trying to fly LOS it is very very hard even as an experienced pilot to fly in acro LOS. Have to fly level especially just starting out. And even if you do fly it in acro LOS it does not translation to fpv.
As well, flying in FPV, forger about level mode. It's actually harder to fly level mode than acro in fpv.
You best bet is to put on the goggles and go acro and take it slow.
The learning curves are the same even if you learn to fly it LOS first so don't waste your time.

LOL. Not getting the basic muscle memory down first is the road to ruin and will get quite expensive.

Which would be easier to get muscle memory down first?
LOS... have to adjust constantly for perspective on something that gets hard to tell which way it's facing the further it gets away?
Or
FPV in the first person, where all you have to worry about is wysiwyg straight up controls.....
That is why learning LOS vs FPV do not translate the same and fpv is easier.
When I built my first race quad the first time I flew it, u used FPV google and flew in airmode the first time and I was able to fly around quite well to my suprise. Granted hi crashed into my self at one point by because I was hot dogging and trying to buz my self.
I next try ed to fly with level mode fpv.. it was so much harder than I airmode.
I then tried to fly LOS later on... I have been flying small to drones for a while b4, forget flying LOS in airmode. I can but it is very hard. And even in level mode it took me longer to learn how to fly LOS in level mode when putting the goggles on the first time and flying in air mode.
I was even able to do flips and rolls. Granted I did the very high so ibhad a lot of time to recover.
I have also been running rc buggies since I was a kid. Raced for a while too. That is LOS. Believe me that took a lot to learn running a track with a buggy. Even with all of that brain exercise, meaning I am used to changing perspective, LOS quad flight was harder to learn the fpv in airmode
Also, level mode makes it harder to learn. I think most people get stuck using it in fear of airmode or acro... if they just go acro first... they would learn faster.

Hey ndheep, i am sure that this http://www.fitdrones.com/ can help you, check it and let me know the feedback.

Exactly! What happens when you have a serious issue with your $6,000 DJI Inspire and you have to put it into manual mode? LOS is a necessary first step in learning how to fly
Even if you just do the basic exercises like 'walking the dog', it can really help. From a safety standpoint you really should learn LOS, but you can pick FPV up without it, and FPV is considerably easier. The problem comes in the possibility of loosing the quad when flying in unfamilar places, not getting the perspective of how much you are actually drifting, trying to tune from FPV and the possibility of a failure in FPV. I've had weird things happen like a camera vibrating loose, saggy BEC, battery die on goggles, something jumping on my band and many other things that cause me to loose FPV. Usually my first reaction is to throttle up (unless I was under something), and acquire LOS to bring it back to a safe landing.
TL;DR: Not really required, but while maybe costly at first it is really worth learning. If you take it easy you might be able to learn without any major crashes!
