One thing to watch out for is where the urine goes once it is outside
the aircraft as it is very corrosive to metal parts. During my annual yesterday we found some unusual corrosion on the aileron bellcrank mount. All other controls are in great shape. There is a drain hole in the fusilage just aft of the gear doors and the drain tube termination. I am speculating that some of the urine 'mist' may be getting inside the fusilage and causing the corrosion. The mount is directly aft of this drain hole and of course inside the fusilage. I have also heard from other pilots of corrosion in the wheel and brake areas due to this problem. Of course you can prevent or remedy this problem. I am going to plug the drain hole and the wheel problem could be remedied with regular cleaning. The point is that you need to beware of where on your aircraft the urinne may be depositied and take care of it. I really think a catheter is the way to go because you need to nothing else but think about it and it is done! But I am now thinking I may have the tube go into a baggie filled with an absorbant material instead of releasing the urine under the glider. |
