Steve Reeves:  To select the oxygen system for you, you need to decide if you
are willing to spend the extra few hundred bucks per person for the EDS system
and whether you are willing to pay for the super light weight bottle.
Everything else is a matter of measuring how much space you have when
specifying the bottle size and having the sales guy make sure you get the
necessary tubing and fittings.  I went with the K-11 system I think it's
called.  It's the 11 cubic feet glass fiber bottle with EDS system for one
person.  It has the XCR regulator.  Cost: $1650.  I later added a second EDS
box for the passenger and associated tubing for around $600.  The EDS thing is
a little electronic box that meters out the right amount of oxygen at the
start of your inhalation.  It conserves the maximum amount of oxygen and has
settings which turn it on automatically at an altitude you set, like 5,000
feet or 10,000 feet, etc.  It's a terrific product.  I went with the portable
tank, but you can set it up for hard installation to the aircraft if you want.
