I really just want something that's ready to fly just because i'm so new to this. I was thinking go with the basic SD with a 900 MHZ from hobby king. I really like the adjustable IPD. Don't care much about head tracking, i just want to fly lol. That would save me maybe 50 bucks, but if the attitudes are easier and has everything i need, i think i'm willing to spend the extra 50
Help with fpv setup and cheap glasses.

Don't bite off more than you can chew at once, man. Best advice is to learn to fly, first. Then, once you are comfortable, take you're steps into fpv. An airframe like the Bixler is great because it is a solid learner's plane that can carry fpv equipment quite well.

What he said.
I regularly take excessive bites and end up digging stuff like this from the ground...
i've been flying pretty well. That's why i'm gonna fly the most retarded and most comfortable plane for me... my ft3d.... lol i feel like it has enough power to recover from retarded maneuvers that i do. That is also why i chose to go with a ready to run attitude sd from readymaderc... I just want something i can grow with and i hope it doesn't fail me
If you really want Fatshark FPV, and RTF as well, the Predator V2 has everything you need to get started. No guessing about voltage or frequency. And it's only $20 or so more than the base.
If you're determined to start with 900 MHz, step up to the Dominator @ $40 more. It can still work with the 900 MHz wired, and you will leave your upgrade options open. Just remember that whatever you get, it is quite an investment, so you'll want be sure.

Alright guys.. I need you guy's help again.
I went the attitude route and in my eagerness forgot to buy a camera.
I want to get this thing up and flying, does anyone know if a SWANN security camera can be hacked to fly fpv?
Something like this ??

Don't cheap out on the camera. It's your only connection to the plane, once you go out of easy line of sight.
This one is rather popular. I have one myself.

I'm guessing you bought just the goggles, you'll need a compatible 5.8 ghz transmitter too.
Where did you order the glasses from?
