Scattering Ashes

[DaV8or]

Seems like a tube out the window should work. Either the vinyl tube like in the video, or a PVC tube with a cap and a hole. Get some BBQ ash and go experiment. Good use for the auto pilot.

I still have the tube in my hangar, I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

I guess we are talking about being sentimental and wanting to scatter the ashes of a Mooney pilot from a Mooney because there is a better and neater way, Cremation Solutions

Well all I have scattered ashes from my Mooney today. Had never even seen it done. Probably Should have read this thread first. It was not a big deal for me and absolutely no ash in the plane or paint even remotely compermised.

Was a very successful event no issues.

I Would personally never try to drop bags or throw bags out window or door.....

What method did you use?

after a long time this thread popped up so I thought I would up date.  I tried the long tube all the way to the tail skid, it did not work with fire place ashes. I was informed that the body could be some large pieces so I tried a 1" tube out the vent window about to the middle of the rear window, that worked great with fireplace ashes  but did but put a little on the tail, not so much that a rinse with a hose would not take care of it.  The job never happened I can not remember why, but now I have a 3 or 4 ft piece of 1" dia. plastic tube on my tubing pile should I ever need it.

I came up the idea when after posting this request I saw an old mail tube that had plastic caps on each end on my mother in laws desk.

Using a section of that tube, two hose clamps, a short piece of 3/4 PVC, 2 3/4X1/2 T, 1/2 sch 80 nipple, some safety tie wire, small pulley, SS screw & washer, length of vinyl cloth line.

Mounted one end on tail tie down the other on the inspectin plate on the tail belly. Safety wired the ends just for a little extra security!

All in less than 2 hrs from idea to first test flight!

Was a success as I did not have a choice it was a promise my mother in law made to my deceased father in law.
