- Glider pilot:

- Mountain High EDS, connected to ships power with 9V battery backup
and spare battery in the bag just in case.

- Oxygen cannula on prior to takeoff on every flight, never know when
the thermals go above 10k, or wave happens.

- Nonin pulse oximeter, no better way to tell if you're saturated...
or not.

- Refill my own ship bottle (aluminum AL647 from MH) with welder's
oxygen. O2 is O2, unless somebody adds something to it, like H2O, but
then it's not O2 is it? Bottle and gas from Praxair. I also use it for
welding.

- The 647 lasts about 10 hours at 10k, then it's only down to about
500 lbs. I cascade to about 1500, then top off with my 2200 psi bottle,
the high pressure bottle lasts an entire summer, goes down to maybe
1800, then it becomes the cascade bottle.

- Cheap - make your own refill lines with fittings from
www.mcmaster.com.

- It's your life, figure out the oxygen thing if you're going to do
it. The Avweb article is good, google it.
