Aviation Forum / General / Aviation / February 2010Looking for some marketing feedback on a new pilot relief product
I've come up with what may become a new pilot relief product. It's not for sale yet, but I'm at the point where I'm trying to get some market feedback to see if there is enough interest to invest further. I've been using prototypes in my glider this past year with excellent success. ThePeePal is designed to provide a temporary, hands free, leak free means or relieving oneself. It's not meant to be worn for any length of time. There is an inner cuff which inflates with mild air pressure to create a seal. ThePeePal would be connected with a tube to a collection bag or similar arrangement. I have a small web site to explain the product and at the bottom is a very short survey. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to take a look and provide some feedback, either thumbs up or thumbs down. ThePeePal.com All feedback is appreciated. Mark > All feedback is appreciated. You mean my Topicana Orange drink bottle is obsolete?  SignatureDallas >> All feedback is appreciated. > > You mean my Topicana Orange drink bottle is obsolete? Funny you should mention that. I keep an old Tropicana bottle in in my flight bag just for emergencies. ...It's the large mouth.. Vaughn > > All feedback is appreciated. > > You mean my Topicana Orange drink bottle is obsolete? > > -- > Dallas OKAY! Confession time! I had to go really bad halfway through an hour or so cross country & all I had was an empty aluminum soda ("pop" for those in wierd parts of the country) can. I managed to get placed okay but didn't figure on nearly filling the 12 oz. container up! Well, now what? I know! It's a slow cassna 172, I'll open the window, clear the area below and drop it out the window. I do hate littering but...I shoved it out the window and the turbulence caused an instant, strong pee-pee shower all over me and the cabin. Gross!

I hope you didn't have asparagus the night before. :- ) SignatureDallas > > I shoved it out the window and the turbulence caused an instant, > > strong pee-pee shower all over me and the cabin. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > -- > Dallas Asparagus is not a good idea... I fly gliders and having a way to take a leak is essential. It's not a "good" day if the flight is less than 2 hours and 4+ hours is what I'm really looking for (I am a neophyte). In the summer, I carry at least 100 ounces of drinking water... it's gotta come out! Frankly, a typical Male External Catheter is simple, cheap, and get's the job done. When I'm in the air I don't have to look at it, position it, inflate it, or uninflate it. Every second I spend preparing to pee and cleaning up afterwards is a second I don't spend looking for traffic, looking for safe places to land, looking for lift, and thinking about how to fly fast so that I end up back where I started instead of on the ground. Typical MEC's have drawbacks. But I can deal with all of those drawbacks on the ground with my glider safely parked, and more likely safely back in its trailer. The product offered just gives me something else to do when I should be flying. I don't need that. Eyes and attention inside the cokpit are not safe. just my 2 cents >thinking about how to fly fast so that I end up back where I started >instead of on the ground. You started in the air? Wow. I thought **I** was a good gliderguider.

I bought a couple of the Little Johnny's, etc. I ended up throwing them all out because they leaked. Finally I just started using water bottles. If one had to go really bad I'd open the little pilot window, empty and let them fill. It wasn't unusual for one bottle to be used multiple times on 6 hour legs down in Mexico. I never once had one leak. I still carry them now even though my boys are now men. -Robert Dallas schreef: >> All feedback is appreciated. > > You mean my Topicana Orange drink bottle is obsolete? Now if that isn't on-topicana! > All feedback is appreciated. Actually, the best folks to ask about this product are sailplane pilots. They tend to take long flights in rather tiny cockpits. No soaring forum is complete without the occasional long and entertaining discussion about frozen and bulging relief tubes, peeing uphill into piddle packs while stuck in a prone position, and the joys of external catheters.

When I was flying SeaPlanes I'd just land on a lake and pee off the pontoons. :) > I've come up with what may become a new pilot relief product.
