For many of us soaring cross country pilots the condom catheter and a
leg bag are essential parts of a successful flight. David Sedaris has
a different take on the product. He's hilarious.

I tried to watch the posted video on You Tube and got only a black
screen. No video. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

Hi Phil, It worked OK for me also, plus they stole my idea for use at
Red Wings games.
Merry Christmas,

Phil,

I used to have that problem with any video. I didn't have the latest
version of the Flash player installed. You might check that.

Default Peeing in a condom catheter with a leg bag.

This system is now used extensively by UK pilots and is known as the
Kellerman Relief System which deposits either into a catheter bag, or
outside via relief tube installed in the glider.

Whilst flying at Jaca a few years ago, after a fellow pilot was
complaining about the supine position of modern gliders making it
difficult to use his funnel/cup device, we showed him the KRS and he
became very enthusiastic. So much so that we gave him a condom, tube and
bag to try it out.

I was intrigued to hear him on the radio landing back early, so once we
all got back, he explained exactly what had happened, we were
incapacitated for at least an hour, weeping with laughter. Here is his
story, imagine it being told in his soft scottish accent:

"I rigged up the relief system, took off and got about 100km down the
mountains when I felt it was time to use it. It all went well for the
first few seconds, but then I was aware of some 'back-pressure', the
condom was swelling up, but the bag was not filling up. Much to my
horror, I realised the tube had been trapped and squashed when I closed
the conopy down on it, so I was snookered.
Well it's very difficult to stop peeing, just like that, the condom
swelled to enormous proportions and then let go with a bang, covering all
of me and the cockpit.
So that is why I came back early, for a big clean-up operation!".

There, but for the grace of God, go many of us....

cheers Bill

John, I talked to a local pharmacist about why I wanted to try one, here
in the UK, and obtained a single sample – which I had to buy – without a
prescription. Maybe it depends on the individual chemist – I went to a
small, one-man outfit.

I have not yet tried it – it came with a short tube attached capable of
being connected to a longer one and a bag, but I have not engineered the
rest of it.

There is some good advice, as well as some funny stories, if you go to the
thread started by TangoMike24 on Mar 21 2000, titled: “Pee System--How to”

Hello John,

Here in the states, condom catheters are available at most medical
supply stores (the ones that sell various crutches, canes, incontinency
products, etc.). They are also available here at some drug stores and
of course, online.

Most pilots here rig up some sort of tubing to the glider so that it
exits outside. So you simply hook up to the existing plumbing with a
quick disconnect and you are ready to go...

In US they are available mail order from pharmaceutical suppliers.
Much cheaper to buy in bulk than individually. I have used
sportaid.com. I would expect they ship overseas if you don't find a
supplier in UK.
