In flight recorder

Has anyone ever made their own in-flight recorder? I'm curious how
this would be done. I don't think it would be that difficult if you
use a regular cassette in one of those small fire safes. Just
drill a small hole to accomadate the mic wire. But how would you hook
it up to the intercom?
Or would you have a small lapel mic attatched to your headset? Anyway,
has anyone tried this?

What possible purpose would you have for it? That's a lot of weight (the
safe) that will be of no use to anyone.

I did it during my IFR training week. I used a small mp3 player/
recorder and put the tiny mic inside my earcup of my headset. It
worked fine.

Thats perfect. It's a long way off, but when I finish my plane I
thought it would be cool to
record the first flights.

P.S., the safe was incase of disaster.

I have no problem with the idea of a recorder in the cockpit. I just see no
use for the safe.

Ok, Ok, I was just thinking the worst possible ending of a flight.
The
safe was to protect the recorder from fire.

So I watch too much tv.

Put the recorder on a scanner or handheld on the
ground. It's safe and it's less distraction
for the pilot.

IF things did go really badly, and you WERE killed in a crash, I don't think
I would want the survivors in my family to have a tape of my last flight,
and dieing words and painful screaming.

If it did go badly, let there be no record of the end; only memories of the
good times. That is just me, though.
