How to really do remote control?

A while back I played with a FPV setup.



Camera on a pan/tilt mount, running 4 channels so I can control camera and truck on a airplane radio.

Worked ok....

The video receiver is on a LONG cable, so it was outside stuck in a tree. I was inside, watching the feed through the TV in the living room, holding the radio in my hand....

That meant the radio signal had to go through the walls of the house to get to the truck. That just killed my range, I could only venture about 150 feet from the house.


Thats no fun. And now that I have a quad rotor, I was to revisit this idea...




Someone probably knows how to do this.......




How do I get the radio signal away from the radio? I want to send it down a 50 foot cable to an antenna I can put on the roof of the house, along with the video receiver.

Then I should get.... a mile of range if I have line of sight... I want real remote control, I want to be in a different location than my radio's signal, although tied by wire to the transmitter.
