I attended the 1997 Lancair Redmond fly-in and recall Mountain High having a display table there. Don't know if they paid to be or was free gratis from Lancair. Don't know and don't care. When it comes to an investment as expensinve as an airplane and as important as my life depending on proper information, builders' comments may not always be accurate. Ric Lee is in the sales department at Mountain High and I forwarded him copies of the LML. Needless to say some were stories of much concern. I asked that he contact you with proper information regarding oxygen systems with the comment that you most likely would not mind a plug for Mountain High. He may not have felt it proper. Below is his comment on V1-204, I can send others not so friendly but not obnoxious. He understands the misinformation that can go around and seems to have the patience to steer people in the right direction, a prerequisite for his position. Anyone needing general information on systems can go to mtn-high.com and check out their one-man to four-place oxygen systems.

Sawicki" Subject: Re: [Fwd: lancair.list V1 #204] Michael, The good doctor is correct. I hope the others on the list will follow his advise. Scuba cylinders and regulators are designed to work in a higher than normal pressure environment, not what we experence as aviators. They are heavy, deliver entirely too much volume per breath, and cannot easily be made to work with a microphone. They are not designed to work with 100% oxygen either which is exactly what you must use in flight. I would be happy to answer questions forworded to me from the list which then may be posted to the list as long as I'm not so inundated that I can't work. If you would like to cut and paste the pertinent information I'll answer it as time permits.
