Graham,
During the 26 years that I was flying my PIK 20E I was equiped and used
regurarily my P-tube. I bought in a medicinal shop a rubber pear such as
women used for intimacy care. Easy to connect at a plastic tube that ran in
the wheelwell. Upside down you can cut an orifice at measure not realy on
top so that there is no waste. Many times I had royal feelings by making
water over the whole world.
Best regards,
Karel Vranken.
