One other system to consider that has already been mentioned
is the Precise Flight system. They have a neat demand conserver
that does a good job at reducing O2 consumption rates too.
I put together this page a while back and it has a photo of the
conserver.

It doesn't require those large oxy-saver cannulas, but uses
a "sensing" cannula, that automatically opens and closes the
demand unit when you inhale. You dial in the altitude on a
wheel on the bottom (or you can set it to continuous too),
and that adjusts the flow rate. I got it because I was too
broke to add a full-blown pulse system, and O2 is only used
on the longer flights in our plane, so this doesn't require
batteries, or a permanent installation, yet still gives
much better conservation of O2 than the oxy-saver cannulas
did.
Just one to check out if you're not going to a fully installed
system.

Thanks for the various feedback. I'll certainly give Aerox a look as
well as Mountain Air/High/Low, whatever. Perhaps I need soma "O" at sea
level to think clearly.

I'll second the endorsement for Aerox. I have occassionally gone up to
13 or 14k and the Aerox works great. They have always been very helpful
in answering my dumb questions. And when I was comparing prices they
came out on top. I don't have a need for high dollar, sophisticated
systems (not that theirs is not sophisticated), but for what I do the
Aerox is the best value. Matt McManus LNC2 360
Quoting John Schroeder <jschroeder@perigee.net>:
Why don't you look into Aerox's systems. They are great people to deal
with and reasonable. We have one of their 4 place systems with a big bottle installed in our ES and like it a lot. If you want the conservartion aspect, look into Precise Flight. Lloyd at Aerox might be able to work with you to meld the two systems.

IMHO, there is simply no better than the "pulse demand" system that
Mountain
High makes. I have it in portable because the built in is just soo darn expensive. However, they recently came out with a 2 port pulse
controller that can sorta be "mounted". I less expensive way to go for a great system without all the costs.
BTW, I have a *small* by most peoples standard bottle and with the pulse setup, it lasts easily 30+ hrs at 12000'...

Subject: [LML] Mountain Air Oxygen
I'm in the market for an oxygen system and wondered if there were specific recommendations better than the Mountain Air system with conserving nebs. Since a lot of LNCs are high flyers, I figured this
would be an obvious information source. If anybody has a bottle system they are replacing with an installed system, I'd be interested in the portable equipment.
