Default Catheter question

Well, I then hope that you don't use one of these gas wasting SUV's for your
ride to the airfield, but take your bike...

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,
