Drift HD cameras hands down.
The new ones have remote with light indicators to remind you if your recording or not.
I have got several videos posted to youtube, just look up my name, Justin Rizor.

Next Season I will be adding a wing mounted camera, using a suction cup and a wing cuff made out of a medical plastic called "aqua plastic." You just heat the sheet of plastic to 160deg in water, then drape over the surface you want, it cures slowly and hard. I know about this product as my broken thumb has a splint made out of the stuff right now.
Any question feel free to contact me thru youtube.

The editing software is where my learning curves needs to begin.
Good luck

I'm getting interested in taking some hd videos on XC missions ... is the GoPro Hero 3 considered the best camera for this type of project.



I've also been fooling with a new Video Editor called Power Director ... great app... much better then then older software I had before.



I re-reprocessed a file Evan Ludeman provided ... and I put a re-edited version on you tube. I don't think the base video is HD quality - and I used a stock audio track - but you can see how nice the transitions and other features work.
