I used the pan&tilt setup from Servo City which is basically a plexiglass plate with a large Hitec compatible servo arm. The plate screws down on the servo arm. I used that super plastic type velcro to hold my camera to the plate. The servo is mounted in the wing just like an aileron servo. I added 1/4" balsa sheeting with a lite ply doubler between the ribs of the first wing bay under the wing.
Such as:

This servo is slaved to channel 7 and a variable switch on my 9C but you really dont need 180 degrees for a wing mounted camera. I have tested it with the gear switch and it works fine. 180 degrees would show you either mostly the front of the plane or mostly the rear if mounted near the fuse such as the way mine is.
Ok, this is the picture I was trying to show:
