What are we supposed to see towards the end? Also, I'd get rid of the music to make it better IMO. Rap music and model planes don't really go together like you might think.

My question to you would be, how much weight do you have to work with? How heavy can the camera be?
 
Well, I'm just going to throw out there that you would be better off posting this on a video forum. I'm sure you'll get good answers here, but most of us are strictly still photographers.

In my opinion, your best bet for better (MUCH BETTER!) video quality, would be to go get a go pro helmet cam. They run $180-300 depending on which one you get, but they put out really great HD video, and are pretty small and light.

The problem I see is that you won't be able to eliminate the shake in it, unless you could add some kind of stabilization system for the camera, but those can get super expensive and heavy.
 
I suggest you to search in a RC forum, since there is much interest on this field among RC pilots. I'm subscribed to RCGroups, where you can find this: Aerial Photography - RC Groups (and also another forum devoted to FPV piloting). If you are interested into quality, perhaps look at quadricopters, to have smoother movement. I did some experiment with a cheap 10$ keycam, but I'm also a bad pilot, so results are not good :) .
 
you can put a strap on to a RC plane if you want lol.

obliviously they did, look at the video you posted.
