rockydoc Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 Has anyone installed a PRT in an M20? If so, how? Quote
Dale Logsdon Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 I have a Gatorade bottle installed in mine. 2 Quote
rockydoc Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah, me too. But, I'm trying to upgrade! lol Quote
Jeev Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 This is my answer And do you really want pee all over your belly or tail.... or anywhere on your plane.... Making it "rain" over your buddies car in the company parking lot would be fun though haha 1 Quote
Bob_Belville Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 Not bragging but I always carried one gallon Prestone anitfreeze jug.... And a big thermos of coffee. Quote
Matt Michael Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 In gliders we often use condom catheters, usually vented overboard. In a certified aircraft plumbing overboard can be difficult so a leg bag or other receptacle in the cabin would be acceptable and easy. Tougher issue for women. Quote
Martin H Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 So, the answer to the Doc's question appears to be: No. Quote
triple8s Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 Ziplock bag is the only way to go! Yellow and Blue Make Green! Those pesky bottle wont vent when filling and the pressure occassionally sprays back at you, this never happens with a ziplock. 1 Quote
PTK Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 Bags and bottles are messy. I have this behind baggage compartment. It's neatly hidden under hat rack when not in use. It's STC'd for Mooney, (Small Toilet Commode!) Quote
WardHolbrook Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 The problem with relief tubes and aluminum airplanes is corrosion. If you go that route, you'll want to take all of the preventative measures to clean it up after every flight plus make sure you don't have any leakage in the tubing and connectors. In many ways, the other suggestions are a much better tong-term solution. I've known guys who use external catheters and leg-strap bags. Seems to work well for them. Quote
Jamie Posted October 19, 2013 Report Posted October 19, 2013 May sound dumb, but I wouldn't buy a plane with a relief tube. Ick. That's as far as my mental processing gets before "ick". I also wouldn't want to clean it, or have it maintained, or share it with passengers,or... Bombers needed them back in the day, I guess, but now there are better alternatives. Like, my favorite, planning short legs to take care of biological interrupts. Quote

ghovey Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 Powerade bottles work well. The plastic is strong and the opening is a little larger. Lil John also works well. Quote
fantom Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 I couldn't post what my wife told me when I showed her the Lady J. It wouldn't' fit anyway ;-) Quote
TTaylor Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 No way to install an external PRT without hurting the plane from corrosion. In gliders we have seen corrosion in the ruder hinges and cables. I use quart Zip-Lock bags with a Depends insert in the bag in gliders. Easy to make and much cheaper than the other options listed. Pick up the generic brand of super adsorbent ladies diapers at WallyWorld or other similar store and pull out the gel pack. Easy to use and gels in a few minutes so no risk of spills. I like the sliding lock Zip-Locks for secure seal. 1 Quote
fantom Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Two questions: Is PRT an accepted aviation abbreviation? How the heck do you steady the stuffed baggie while doing the deed? Video would help to understand it. Quote

Video would help to understand it. You guys are KILLING me... I'm glad no one is here to see or hear me laugh so hard.....! But hey the cheap lady's depends and GEL sound like a great cheap option!!

fantom Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 Yeah, this thread is a pisser..... Quote
chrisk Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 I don't know why, but this thread reminded me of that crazy woman astronaut who drove from Texas to Florida wearing diapers. This was so she could kill her former boyfriend. Quote
TTaylor Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 Ok, here are the pictures. No, I am not going to load a demonstration video . http://mooneyspace.com/gallery/image/34659-gel-inserts/ http://mooneyspace.com/gallery/image/34660-super-adsorbant/ http://mooneyspace.com/gallery/image/34661-individual-insert/ http://mooneyspace.com/gallery/image/34662-/ Quote
