I don't remember off the top of my head exactly how this goes but you'll want to be cautious about how exactly you mount the camcorder. I'm sure at some point it becomes illegal depending on how you mount it (Especially if mounting it in the cabin requires the use of tools). Just something to consider.

Though taping it to the dash seems like a pretty good idea you need to see how your camera's focus is going to react to the spinning prop in front of it. You might also look in to velcro strips.

Oh, And be sure to post the video if you get it done!
