Hi Noel, Good that you cleared that up for Adam.
Re your last line comment: Please confirm that if the wheel well is well sealed, there is no problem. If this is the case how do you “well seal” a wheel well? What is your thought on the fact that Raspett’s “ideal” venting position is used on ASW 20’s for cockpit ventilation INLET air? Please tell me more about “Doc Raspett”. If Raspett is correct, why do JS1’s (a relatively recent design), vent from the turtle deck? Where should a piss tube vent be ideally located? [I note here (from experience), that if your glider has a belly hook, the vent position should NOT be central in front of that hook, due to ensuing corrosion problems on the release.] Do you think that that urine should just be collected to the cockpit and later disposed of? If so what collection/storage system would you suggest?

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Nim3: VH-VJS, rudder vent Adam. Any rear extraction vent will not work; as proven by Doc Raspett. The LS3 demonstrates this beautifully. After dumping water ballast the spray is ingested through the “Exhaust” vent in the fins king-post and finishes up on the parcel shelf after travelling fwd. Also, smoke, from a cigarette, moves forward in the cockpit of the same type. Raspett discovered the correct position for venting was on the fuselage, under the wing, where profiles have well and truly begun to shrink. A number of owners of various types chose to fit suction vents to U/C doors to exhaust their piss tubes. Result: Seriously corroded U/C and worse if the wheel well was not sealed. Noel.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Nim3: VH-VJS, rudder vent G'day all, Just wondering whether anyone has any information, even better, pictures of VH-VJS's Nimbus 3 extract vent which was fitted into the rudder? The glider is no longer registered, so don't know what happened to it. Hopefully it's still around somewhere! Cheers, WPP
