Do you own/rent/borrow a portable oxygen system?

I own a precise flight (nelson) bottle with the scuba-type
(conservers) regulators for the me and Margy and a couple
of the cheaper ball-in-tube flow regulators in the rare
event of passengers.

Likes/dislikes regarding the particular brand?

Comes with a nice bag, unfortunately the strapping they give
you won't mount to the Navion seats (needs the type of seat where
you can fish the strap between the seat bottom and seat back).

The regulators have the nice feature that you can turn up the
oxygen if you decide you need more than the default setting
(set by altitude). The conservers do a good job on extending
the bottle times. Both of these are an improvement over the
Mountain Home system we also looked at which doesn't do as good
of a job on conserving, is essentially a "black box" that you
can't adjust, and requires a battery to boot.


Size/capacity?

22 cubic foot

Typical altitude flown when in use?

Anything approaching 10K or more. Lower at night.

Comments please.
