A friend died earlier this year and his widow has asked
that we scatter his ashes from a sailplane, preferably an ASK 21. Does anyone have experience with this? Visions of various ash scattering scenes from the movies come to mind – scenes that I do not wish to reenact. We have considered running a tube out the window thinking that the ashes would be sucked out (have not tried this yet). We have tried, using a bag of dirt, just pushing the bag out the window and trying to get it to empty into the airstream. That did not work. The thought of flying without the canopy so the bag could be more easily emptied in the airstream came to mind, but I do not believe that operations without a canopy are approved in the flight manual, and it might just make an even bigger mess. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Chuck |
