Recording cockpit voices

Cool. This is exactly what I want to do. I have a Sony camcorder and
have been video taping some flights, but wanted to have cockpit
voices. I will give it a try and see if it works for me. Can you
explain to me how you afix the camera to the panel? Or does it just
sit atop the sponge? I am renting aircraft, so I can't do any
permanent mounting.

My plane has an avionics access panel on the top of the glareshield,
about 8x6 inches, with screws all the way around to hold it down. I
took a couple of ring terminals and put them under the screws. I tied
knots in the end of the elastic and smashed the end around it. The
camera sits on the sponge with the elastic band holding the camera down
onto the sponge. Flip out the view finder, plug in the audio in and you
are ready. Don't know what to tell you with a rental.
