the typical D or E aluminum cylinders do not fit ASW19-ASW29, same goes for

most DG and LS gliders the older steel bottles do fit as they are a couple

silly mm smaller OD since they are made to accept the smaller European

cylinders, (the European cylinders BTW are not legal in the USA or cannot

legally be filled in the USA since they do not incorporate the blow out

feature required by US, there are also some composite cylinders in/near

this size that will also fit, you just have to select one closer(or smaller)

to the D and E size listed on my website.

I also do have a NEW complete EDS system being sold as used on my website

since it was sold to an end user but not used, still complete as sold new

for substantial savings, see http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page35.htm for

description and pictures.

BTW, all typical sailplane oxygen systems are "portable" so these do not

have to meet any specific FAA TSO or other requirements that would apply to

a 'built in" system.



Tim,
If the used system you have will fit my application I can take it off your hands
