Related to my last question about strapping a camera into a Cardinal...

Ok, I got the Camera strapped into the cardinal... two legs forward one
leg in the seat and 5 seperate bungee cords... yay.

Heres a question... I don't want to just hear the droning of the
engine... but I also don't want to just hear my clever conversation
with myself, so any ideas from more audio/videophile types on how I
might be able to get both the engine sound and the microphone sound
onto the tape?

I was thinking of recording the engine sepereatley and editing it into
the tape in Adobe, but there has to be a simpler way that it can be
recorded right onto the tape, right?

I'm thinking of putting the whole thing together in a "Top Gear"
Fashion.... anyone ever seen that show? The new one after 2001?


It's a difficult proposition with simple consumer cameras that lack multiple
inputs.

One trick I've seen used is to get a small "lavalier" type mic, tuck it
inside one earcup of your headset and jack that into the external mic input.
This will mitigate the engine noise to some degree but still pick up ATC
reception and your own sidetone (when you hear yourself.)

Good Luck,
