What is a good sky cam to put on one of my planes at a fair price? Also where would the best spot to mount the cam? Under the engine or on the side of the fuselage? Thanks alot...

Remember that the vibration from glow, 4C or gas engines will produce horrible results on video.
Your best bet is to use a very slow flying electric plane.
Slow flyers work best, because they prevent you from jerking the camera around in the sky quickly...
Anyway, check out the FlyCamone Version 2.
While not super high quality, the price is right ( $99.00 ) and all of the accessories are available, though you don't need to use any if you wish.

RCU does have a camera forum too that may help some. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_353/tt.htm

i taped a regular digital camera to my plane (foam between cam and plane) and the results were good but the wind was throwing my plane all over the place. the vibrations on the cam wasnt bad
ill upload it to youtube if you want
