Skip, I appreciate your O2 pics! :) Did you see my O2 questions to JohnS (yesterday). I'm interested in your approach for refilling. Do you: a) always refill it after every use b) generally tend to refill it when approx 1/2 used c) refill it depending on flight/mission d) all of the above e) other I currently have a portable MH system with pulse Oximeter (love it) - but don't use it very often. How large is your bottle? Does your local FBO have O2? Or do you have a system to refill yourself from a commercial cylinder? Or Can you easily remove your bottle to be filled remotely, with Medical O2? Other? It looks like the hose coming from your o2 bottle is high pressure (no stepdown regulator on the bottle(?). Is the stainless braided hose rubber or teflon on the inside? Where is the pressure stepdown regulator? On the Panel? Is there a pressure (qty left) gauge on the panel? Do you have to turn the bottle on/off manually at the bottle? Do you leave the bottle "on" when the aircraft is hangered - or do you turn it on during pre-flight and off at shutdown/securing? Is there a 2nd on/off value - at the regulator? (manual/electronic)? If only at the bottle, any concern that you leave it off for a low altitude flight and then change your mind in-flight and are stuck with it in the "off" position? I know MN makes a nice remote panel control unit now - but it is a bit pricy (probably worth it). I'm looking to gather other's experiences before spending the $. More... What is the 2nd White bottle in your photo (Fire Ext?). What is it filled with (Halon)? Where does it go (Cabin, Panel, Engine, All)? How is it plumbed (Alum Tubing, Hose, other)? How is it triggered (electroic/servo, manual/cable,other)? Any suggestions/recommendations? Sorry for all the questions, appreciate your insights? -----Original Message----- From: Lancair Mailing List [mailto:lml@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of Skip Slater Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 12:29 AM To: Lancair Mailing List Subject: [LML] Re: Built in Oxygen Joe, Here's a photo of the instalation of my oxygen tank...
