So I have a 3 cell camera and a TX antenna for 3 cell. Can I use the transmitting module to run the video through? If not what should I use?

You would need something like this... http://www.getfpv.com/fat-shark-5-8ghz-250mw-a-v-transmitter.html

Threaded... the manual describes how to unscrew the prop. (My replacement props should be in tomorrow).
Thanks for the tip! Last weekend I was at an indoor fly-in and chatting with a vapor pilot (non-fpv). He really liked the plane, and it looks like a really gentle flyer in calm conditions. I just placed an order with the code you mentioned, and can't wait to get this into the air!

Well i pushed my luck today in the gym. I was flying around cones takeing off of folding tables, flying under folding tables . I thought my daughter was recording all unfortunutly she had it stopted. I think the under folding table flying was uber it was quite chalenging. Anyays i hit a basket bal goal end and then it nose dived into the floor..
Evil basket ball goal ..
It seems to of partially broke off where the plastic and fiber rood connects it almost looks like i broke the fiber rod. I am thinking of glueing with ca and posibly reinforce weth a tooth pick glued to each side?

The rod is carbon fiber, and a drop of CA will get you a long way-- for the forces involved the toothpick would be overkill . . . or you could pick up some 0.5mm rod at a LHS and have enough to repair nearly anything on the airframe.
Grayson Hobby down in Loganville should have some in stock -- be warned: you're likely to come out of there with more than you went in to get

Yah CA worked well last night.. If it breaks again I am going to do the way we use to do servo rods, where you joined them by wrapping string around the post then glueing it with CA or epoxy. The old timers will remember doing this..
I am still very bummed My daughter did not get my under the table flying on camera. That was very fun..
At certain throttle levels does the camera get blury on you all? I noticed it, I thought it might be because of a hit on the table but as far as I can tell the prop shaft is not bent although there is a tiny bit of vibration. Its possible a few hits on concrete and the tip caused the prop to not be balanced. It also does it on banks.

Well its fun being 70 feet or so up abouve a house and next thing you know the front of the wing disconnects. I suprisingly controled it enough to miss the house, car, and road and hit grass by about 3 inches. Its intresting diveing tward the ground in fpv. Anways i found the best way to reinforce was to basicly glue it back then use a bit of tisue paper wit ca literaly as fiberglass to reinforce the pices. Seems to be working well the wind also flipted me and i broke a gear..
the fpv vapor bnf is discontinued i was talking to the guys at horizon today and they confirmed it they stopped selling it cause fpv planes didnt appeal to many. http://www.horizonhobby.com/product...-n-fly/fpv-vapor-bnf-without-headset-eflu6680
this is effective to all stores if your on the fence of getting one just do it
