I have heard a funnel connected to a tube extended about 2” below the belly will work but a shorter one won’t.  I use a  carefully marked 20 oz Gatorade bottle to avoid belly odor.  Either way, it is a great way to break the ice with a female passenger…  just kidding.

Terrence,

 

I have successfully used heavy duty freezer Zip-loc bags stuffed with many neatly folded sheets of Bounty paper towels.  Disposal occurs at the next fuel stop trash bin.  If performed at altitude, the result is a nicely compressed package once back on the ground. 

 

Practice whilst seated in the craft and in the privacy of your hangar.

A delicate question:
Would anyone care to suggest or describe where to buy, or how to make, a relief tube for my Lancair 235/320, which now has twice the range as its pilot?
Many thanks,
Terrence
