Well I got my Bronze C on 24 Mar and have now had 11 flights in CNN. An exilarating first day. 5 flights that included a pull off at 50' due to wing drop on a...
Gavin, Great report. You might try using a male external catheter (MEC) as used by wheel chair bound invalids. No fiddling, just let go. Hollister makes the...
Thanks Jim for the info. We too have a microphone that clips to the shoulder strap - now that its been taken apart and cleaned it works well. Its rather 70's...
Gavin, You need to train yourself to be equally comfortable turning both directions. I think everyone has a favorite direction, but you need to be ready to...
Jim, Gavin's enthusiasm is really coming through! I've flown our Cirrus for about five years now and still love it, but I do have trouble with finding a good...

Gents and understanding ladies who have a worse problem, I've tried the MEC, until I got a kink in the hose. I did not realize the new sensation I was feeling...

Bernard, Tim, Ok, I give up. What is a "washing-up liquid bottle" and how does the rest of the pee system work? Give me a full description, and some...
