Just don’t get too close to the
funnel if your plane is pressurized! :>) 5 lbs may not sound
like much, but……

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.

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
