I'm planning to fly my first oxygen-required contest this year at the
Parowan sports class nationals in June of this year. Anyone out there have an EDS pulse-ox system they'd be willing to loan/rent to me for the month of June? I already have an O2 bottle and a primary regulator (aerox) - just need the EDS magic box TIA, Frank (TA) |

Frank:
Make sure your Aerox regulator is adjusted down to the pressure that feeds the magic box. Otherwise you'll blow it up the first day and be outta luck. Fred |

Frank:
Contest flying isn't about using the whole day, so...If you already have an O2 cylinder and regulator and won't be using the system much after the contest, why not complete the system with a flow meter and cannula? Many of us flew / continue to fly the Western states without the MH system. You can get 2x ~500k flights on a 13 Cu Ft cylinder with careful use of an Oxy-miser or Oxy-saver cannula. It's about 4x ~500k flights with my current MH system and 13 cu ft cylinder, which helps if there is no O2 fill available. If you had the normal old 22 Cu Ft cylinder, you'd be laughing, but I believe you have a 29. Total expense will be less than a hundred dollars, and it's yours forever. Jim |

Jim Frank, Jim is correct about the "standard" system. If you're looking for just the meter and cannula, I can get those for you too. Mike |

I do have a flow meter and canula that your welcome to borrow, JJ All, I already have the oxymizer cannula and the Aerox flow meter, and I plan to use them if nothing else better (like an EDS system) comes along. I understand that the Aerox system does pretty well, and I don't want to spend a big part of a kilobuck for something I'll almost never use (Ohio not being known for oxygyen soaring altitudes). However, the obsessive-compulsive engineering side of me has difficulty with giving up on the obvious advantages of the EDS system over the Aerox one. TA |

TA Well, you could buy an EDS, then sell it at the end of the contest. |
