ox system

You may want to consider removing the oxygen bottles and plumbing on your next annual. You can save a lot of weight. Depending on the size of bottles, you are carrying around another 50 or more pounds (guessing). Check your equipement list for weight.

I put in a four place sky-ox system to replace the VALUE-JET cannisters. The total system was about 450$ and included a quick-doning mask. U can buy new oxy-saver cannulas from sky-ox to fit the 337 cessna outlets. check their web site. They use less oxygen than normal cunnulas.

I flew a 310 at 12k ft quite often and never seemed to have any difficulty (when younger).

It is nice to have insurance during the summer when you need to climb out of the "crap" to see where you are going (best reason for oxygen).

Normally asperated ? takes too much time.....
