I haven't done it from an Ercoupe, but I think it would work pretty good. You need to be really careful that the container can not possibly open until it's safely out in the slipstream. DANGER, WARNING AND BEWARE: ---------------------------- If you do this in a high wing airplane, do not think for a minute that you can simply open the door in flight and dump the ashes out through the open door. Aerodynamical air action will carry the ashes back into the cockpit, guaranteed. You need to do it through the open window, with the container well outside the window. DANGER, WARNING AND BEWARE: ---------------------------- The same aerodynamical properties that propel ashes around the back of the door and back into the cabin also work for liquids. I found this out on a long X/C flight once. Since I get pretty thirsty on long flights, (you can see where this is going) I started off with a full 32 oz. soda. After an hour and a half, the soda was gone. Later, when the cup was about half full again, I figured I'd just open the door a little and toss it out. I won't go into lots of details, but I bet I'm the only one here who has taken a shower in an airplane. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Dold ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://home.pacbell.net/sdold/ Say NO to useless over-quoting ----------------------------------------------------------------
