Marv . . . with all the questions about oxygen systems floating around,
I decided to contact a supplier. 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.

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.
Happy building,
Ric Lee
