Re: [aus-soaring] 'Relief' on long flights...

[Peter Stephenson]

For my recent 5 hour Silver c flight, I had a urine collection sheath bought from a surgical supplier connected to a urine catheter bag (as used in nursing homes).  The trouble was that the tube was kinked inside my pants and the whole system leaked.  It worked well when I tried it the first time on the ground whilst seated in a similar flying position after a much shorter flight (when I did not really need it!)   Bugger!   PeterS ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard & Lisa Neale To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 9:31 PM Subject: [aus-soaring] 'Relief' on long flights... We can ask about any gliding topic on this list, right?   Here's one from a recently solo pilot about to head off for his first 'Gliding Camp'.   What are the various arrangements used by (male) pilots for 'relief' during those longer flights? I've read of the 'external male catheter'. Is this usually connected to some sort of on-board collection mechanism, or does one drain away to the outside world? What other approaches are used?   Looking forward to a hot debate.   Richard.
