Catheter question

I agree with Paul. I use a catheter system that goes into a Camelback
liner that fits nicely into a slot I cut into my glider's seat pan. One
of the many tricks I learned from Dave Nelson.

Hi,

I guess this is just a personal opinion, but I really despise the idea of
tossing any kind of bag full of pee out of a glider - regardless of whether
or not it is bio-degradable.

I don't imagine that the bag would make it to the ground full of pee, but if
it did it could be dangerous.

But my main concern is the littering. Here we are in a silent, elegant and
graceful sailplane, getting close to nature as sailors do, and we through
garbage out the window to mess up the beautiful world we see out our window?
That just doesn't make sense to me.

For those reasons I highly recommend using a condom catheter and collection
bag that you keep in the glider and dispose of upon landing. Or route the
tube out the bottom of the glider - no pee will reach the ground.

OK. I'm off my soapbox.

Good Soaring,
