KISS applies here. An interesting statistic I read in another forum
during a
similar discussion...
More forced landings and damaged airplanes / people are
caused by false
indications of fire, than by fire itself. Nothing worse
than stuffing it
down in a rough field and flipping it over, just to find
out later that
there was nothing wrong.

What you need is a light, a cheap video camera and cockpit monitor.

The site has a bunch of itty bitty video cameras and related
stuff.  Maybe
it would help!

What about some fiber optic cables to a point on the dash. It SHOULD be dark
inside that cowling.
