I'm considering getting a portable oxygen system for my 360.  I have the new catalog
and price list from Mountain High on order.  Would some of you care to comment on the
practicality of oxygen on the 360?  In other words, If you have it, do you use it?
Will the plane fly well in the 'teens?  How well?  Lorn Olsen has had his 320 almost
to 20k feet, anybody else?  How about with the short wing?  That feeling we have of
being 'beat up' after a flight at 10,000 feet, is that due to lack of oxygen or is it
due to lack of pressurization?  David Jones' description of flying his 4 in the
flight levels without presurization gives me a clue to the answer:  Dave, how do you
feel after such a flight?  Do those of you who can fly your LNC2s  high find that you
get significant additional utility from that capability due to weather?

Thanks and best regards,
Ed de Chazal
