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? Lou |

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

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

Recording the sound should be the last thing on your mind when making a first flight on an experimental aircraft. If you must, leave the recording to someone else on the ground with a scanner. |

In flight recorder
Back when I was working as a flight test instrumentation engineer at the
USAF Test Pilot School, we were trying to figure out an easy way to record audio. The easiest way we found, short of doing a modification to the airplanes and including expensive flight-qualified recorders, was to take a little audio-activated voice recorder and ran a small microphone inside the ear cup of one of our headsets. We'd put the small recorder in our pockets. It worked really well at catching everything that was said through the intercom. It's not a "fireproof" solution, but hopefully this might get you thinking in other areas.
