looking for consumer review on, um, range extender bottles
A friend told me a while back that that a couple of pilots purchased
every type of human relief container, and armed with prior consumption of a gallon or so of coffee or tea, made a test flight and reported on the pros/cons of each. I think this could be quite funny but have never been able to find the article. Anybody know of the source? |

The guys I used to fly to autoraces learned their lesson after the first
trip. Subsequent trips they brought along empty one-gallon anti-freeze bottles. Personally, I carry the piddle packs that contain the stuff used in disposable diapers. $4 for a pack of three in the camping department at KMart.

I fly jumpers....if my bladder gets out of synch with fuel needs it can be distressing. One fine afternoon I got out of synch but think no bigge...I have a water bottle. When I took the cap of the bottle I dropped it..grrr. Filled the bottle then being worried about a spill I decided to toss it out the window. Slowed up, opened the window and moved the open top bottle out into the slipstream.... I called manifest and had the next load bring me a rag to clean up my sunglasses, inside of the door, windshield.... I now use the piddle packs with the gel forming stuff....much better. G -- Dale L.

I've seen a thing advertised as the Stadium Buddy. Must be the same thing.
You wear a rubber attached to a tube that runs into a reservoir strapped to your leg. Personally, I haven't run into this problem, but I think I'd go with the piddle packs. mike regish "William W.
