The casing slots easily onto my tie-down ring and can be held in place with a few cable ties. It is limited to forward or rear facing only and it's not too convenient having to cable tie it every time but most definitely totally secure without having to risk adhesive or drilling into the wing.

I thought about using a tether, but concerned if I did lose the camera, then the camera or the tether cable would damage a flying surface.

Here's a discussion from a while back on this topic:

The aluminum tape you see here could be used to backup the suction cups?

Great idea! I will feel a lot happier with a tether attached.

Why not install a rivetnut close to the location and use it as a security tether in case the mount does come loose.

Thanks Jerry, Gecko ordered. Still going to be a bit nervous about losing the camera for the first few flights though!

The attached videos show GoPro's being attached with suction cup mounts.  Be careful here, I lost an old GoPro from my wing when I was using the GoPro brand suction cup mount. I've used a Gecko suction mount on the rudder, wing, horizontal stabilizer and on the belly of the aircraft and haven't lost a camera yet.
