I'll second that regarding corrosion. Cost me a gear rebuild and later, after repositioning the exit to the bottom of the gear door, I believe that some was being drawn into the rudder hinge area (LS-6) but can't confirm that. Careful thought needs to be made in terms of positioning the exit - it needs to be in a low pressure area and positioned so that it doesn't then risk contaminating corrodible parts. Our Nimbus 2c has the exit in centre of the lower starboard quadrant of the cockpit 'bulge', just aft of the widest point (i.e. low pressure area). The only potential metal in that flow is the tail wheel assembly. Not only have we not had any problems there, there is no trace of dried urine on the skin of the aircraft. Whilst I have used bags in other aircraft when cross country instructing, having a plumbed in system makes for much more comfortable flying. As for catheters, I (and no pilot I know of here in Aus) uses the adhesive tape that comes with the external catheters (known locally and rather politically incorrectly as 'Irish condoms'). They seal perfectly when rolled far enough down the penis. The only problems I have experienced in removing them have revolved around rolling pubic hair into them during the removal. I have decided that a judicious shave is the answer to that problem! -- Robert Hart +61 (0)438 385 533 http://www.hart.wattle.id.au |
