Sony Webbie on my Radian glider. Mounted on the wing to prevent prop in the picture. Toonie on the opposite wing for counterweight. Tape and zip ties...easy as pie.

Re: putting a digital camera in a glider

Good luck , that would make me sweat every time catching it. I hope it is designed to break easily just in case. But I personally think that actually is the ideal position for a camera.

Here is some footage I took with a cheap keychain camera held under the rubber bands of a FLING.
