That sounds like a good plan if you could deflect the ashes away from
the fuse well enough. From the light explanation I thought you dumped
them out of a hole in the belly, something I would expect from you.
Electronic ashes are those from the unfortunate components that are
burnt up in your experiments ;-)

What the hell are electronic ashes? THe idea is to get a junk inspection
plate, drill a hole in it for a PVC fitting, on the outside of the airplane
cut the PVC off at a 45d angle facing aft to get vacuum, put a deflection
plate behind the PVC cutoff to deflect the ashes down, run a shopvac flex
hose up to a plastic utility box, put yet another PVC fitting on the box to
connect the hose to the box (flush fitting inside the box).

Test fly it with kitty litter. IF you got it right, test fly it again with
fireplace ashes. If you don't find kitty litter or fireplace ash somewhere
on the belly when you get back on the ground, you got it right.

WIth the dearly departed in the box, gently scoop or brush the ashes over to
the PVC drain hole in the box. When brushing gets no more of the ash out,
sluice the box out with liquid of choice to get all the ash into the drain
hole. Some may use holy water. Some may use Guinness. I want Chardonnay.

The subject comes up on the rec.aviation groups from time to time.
It'd be worth your while to google the newsgroup for it. Jim Weir has
the most carefully thought out approach. It involves removing an
inspection plate on the belly of his 182 and opening up the floor.

Not recommended for human ashes. Electronic ashes may be different.
