Default Best place to get gliding lessons?

- What about the peeing arrangements?


As a student pilot with a small bladder, I'm interested in the answer to
that question. I'm learning in an ASK-21, and it seems to me that the
combination of a bucket seat and a 5 point seat belt makes a solution
difficult.

A few months ago, after a new passenger had taken an unexpectedly
turbulent flight, it was mentioned by one of the pilots that an ASK-21
takes about half an hour to clean out. I guess the glider was designed
for that kind of thing - my car, for example, would take much longer
than half an hour to clean out - so the solution doesn't have to be
completely spillproof.
