I know the Air Force used to use "Piddle packs" with a gel fill. Then they lost an F-16 when a pilot stepped on a rudder to get more extension from the pilot side relief unit. Result: Pilot ejected from out of control aircraft. No mention of any possible flail injuries.

Perhaps this over engineered and expensive system is a result of the "piddle pack" mishap.

They were extremely quick in answering my email.

I know the male version has been used in gliders. Probably the nicest thing
I can say about it is that the container is not transparent. They probably tested it enough to be assured it functions well(for the F-35. etc.). The thing that concerns me the most? Another set of batteries to charge, or get cold and fail. And there's something creepy about electrical contacts that close to me. Probably less creepy for you fellows, again.

Their literature suggests that with good hygiene and peroxide, you can expect to get about five flights or fifteen days from the pads. That backs out to $100 per Aaaaahhhh, at 15 uses.

This thread just won't wilt.

Happy New Year,
