I really am starting to like the Hobby King P-51D Mustang [link: http://bit.ly/Y48wPD]. Its really light and has great torque to get yourself out of trouble. If one new what they were doing I think you could even 3D this a bit - I nearly pulled off a hover once.
This is completely stock but I would like to upgrade to the hexTronik DT1000 Brushless Outrunner 1000kv [link: http://bit.ly/ZGMTja] but the motor mount is difficult to get to. If you have it remember to check the motor grub screw, as the first part of my video shows it gets a bit risky when it comes loose!

Following my mates [link: http://www.youtube.com/user/slaughterme1] Wing Wing at night. Really liking the 600TVL SONY CCD D-WDR going B&W for "night vision" and was very happy with my use of Pan & Tilt without loosing control of the plane.
Unfortunately I P&T'ed too far and the video cable popped out the back of the camera and I lost video feed, forcing me to do a instrument only landing using the (clone) Remzibi V1.79 OSD [link: http://bit.ly/17ecWq6].

Not often having the battery falling out actually saves your plane! Personally I find it easier to maiden FPVing with the googles, all was going ok till the canopy fell off, hanging by the video cable leave me looking out backwards, upside down underneath the plane! Amusingly when the battery fell out it lightened the rig so it ended up hitting softly - hardly an damage, but a lot of skill :O).
The reverse view of my plane from his can be found here: https://youtu.be/g6n8hGLjeL8.

Dedicated to Kym - who finds my crashes funny.
This was the first time I had flow n my Boxler on one battery for ages (been @ 2 for FPV) and Id forgotten how much fun it can be. Unfortunately I was out of practice and suffered a big hit at the end - the death of Bixler #10 I think.
Will be putting the 3000kv on the next one a stripping it down to as light as possible - I want to weave those trees vert fast and a lot better!
