Thank you for tuning into my channel. There are some gliders that have a "pee tube " built right into the glider , that just dumps the pee overboard. It might sound a bit disgusting but as this would be done at least a few thousand feet above the ground ,it would evaporate before ever hitting the ground. The other options some pilots use are external catheters , commercially available pee bags ,or adult diapers. I've known pilots to "hold it " for 8 hours or more but I don't recommend it. What you eat and drink has a lot to do with your "duration " I always have a toasted cheese sandwich and a banana before I fly ,as this seems to have an anti diuretic effect. I find combined with launching "slightly" dehydrated and having my sandwich and banana, I can continuously sip 2 litres of water over the course of a 4 or 5 hour flight with no "urgency towards the end. For longer flights, one of the above systems is recommended.
I find the whole thing just so interesting... Thanks for sharing you're awesome adventure... Happy New Year... ✌️
Pretty cool Ward
Looks fun to be up their soaring✈
It certainly is Age. Always appreciate your questions and comments,
How do you manage "toilet-ing" in an 8 hrs flight?
