That sounds like a good plan if you could deflect the ashes away from
the fuse well enough. From the light explanation I thought you dumped them out of a hole in the belly, something I would expect from you. Electronic ashes are those from the unfortunate components that are burnt up in your experiments ;-) On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 06:58:22 -0800, "RST Engineering" wrote: What the hell are electronic ashes? THe idea is to get a junk inspection plate, drill a hole in it for a PVC fitting, on the outside of the airplane cut the PVC off at a 45d angle facing aft to get vacuum, put a deflection plate behind the PVC cutoff to deflect the ashes down, run a shopvac flex hose up to a plastic utility box, put yet another PVC fitting on the box to connect the hose to the box (flush fitting inside the box). Test fly it with kitty litter. IF you got it right, test fly it again with fireplace ashes. If you don't find kitty litter or fireplace ash somewhere on the belly when you get back on the ground, you got it right. WIth the dearly departed in the box, gently scoop or brush the ashes over to the PVC drain hole in the box. When brushing gets no more of the ash out, sluice the box out with liquid of choice to get all the ash into the drain hole. Some may use holy water. Some may use Guinness. I want Chardonnay.

Jim Weir has the most carefully thought out approach. It involves removing an inspection plate on the belly of his 182 and opening up the floor. Don Not recommended for human ashes. Electronic ashes may be different. |

Oh, I FORGOT. This is the first full week of spring, and look what starts
crawling out from under the rocks. Wait, what's that? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it's a PLONK. Jim "Jon A." wrote in message ...

I can see the headlines now.
"F16 dispatch to bring down general aviation airplane" Airplane spotted flying over populated area spreading white powder! How do you spell "Homeland Security" Chris Matras wrote: I have a co-worker who's father just passed away. He'd like his ashes scattered over his home town. I've read a few horror stories in flying magazine. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have a Mooney and am a little concerned about stuff getting blown back in, or all over the wings. Is a high-wing the best way to go? I've also heard that a tube and funnel thingy might be prudent. Thankx |

Sorry, Jon, but this time you are wrong. I suggest you do the homework.
There's no FAR or federal law that says you can't dump _anything_ from an aircraft. For example, in California all you need is written permission from the landowner. See section 7116 of the Health and Safety Code. "Jon A." wrote in message ... On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 08:41:08 -0500, "William W.

You couldn't find your ass in a telephone booth with both hands and a GPS.
