@TIMMAXJETT, a lot of competition sailplanes have a 'p*ss tube' that is routed into the wheel well (or somewhere else that has a negative pressure) and it is simply dumped overboard. I heard a funny story about a glider pilot who decided to install his own p*ss tube and neglected to put the outlet into a negative pressure area, the tube was mostly full before it decided to spit it contents back into his lap, much to the amusement of his clubmates.

There are no longer 'Record' duration flights because of the dangers involved in flying when overtired.

Sometimes we'll end up touching down tail first in attempt to fully flare the landing. But if you completely flare the landing and land on the main wheel, i wouldn't have thought the planes got enough energy to balloon?

Might have even been more than 200km/h! Anyone know the task time?

BEAUTIFUL..................

Ooh, you can see the wings droop as they are unloaded

a little bit to fast

Perfect landing!!!!!!
A wonderful aircraft. Thanks for the video. After 10 hours, I bet the pilot could not wait for a wee. I guess they make their own 'arrangements'. Was this some kind of a record in the UK?

Your welcome. The 2 pilots apparently did have some 'arrangements' to dispose of bodily fluids, didn't ask them for the details though! I am unsure on whether a record was set, it was just fine weather that helped keep them up for so long.
