Do you have a camera you could mount in the cockpit to document
what's going
on, when?

Hi Group, In reference to a cockpit mounted camera.I just purchased
a GoPro
(sometimes referred to as a "Hero Cam". I mounted on my snow machine
up here
and have taken it to Arizona and mounted it on my boat. It has three
modes:
still, stills at time lapse intervals and video. The videos are amazing,
great resolution and a very wide angle lens. It comes with a water
resistant
housing (down to 180') and various mounts. The best part is it's
only about
$150-$170, depending on where you buy. They are usually available at
REI and
I have seen them at COSTCO. They use a SD card with an internal
battery life
of about 2 hours. I believe if you want to record what is going on
in the
cockpit, this might be your answer.

Yep, that's what I mean, and it works great. Download to your
computer or
playback to your TV. Records to MP4 with sound. So you could voice
prompt
yourself to notice the readings when yopu are back SAFELY on the
ground.

We used them too. Starting in 1962 on the Polaris missile subs count down
firing sequence although in those days it was 16 mm film :)
