Live Flight Data Project

Hi All,

 

I have recently taken on a school project that requires streaming of live flight data from an RC plane to a laptop ground station. Flight data should consists of altitude & speed with options for GPS and Camera upgrades. Any tips on what I would need to for this telemetry to take place? Pretty new to drones but I think it is the most interesting project to undertake ^_^

 

Concept

Sensors -> Transmitter -> Receiver -> Groundstation
