Last year while motor gliding the western states I had trouble finding airports that can fill my oxygen bottle. I did get fills at Ely, Minden, and Inyokern. Do you know of places that can help out a visiting pilot? Put a HUGE cylinder in your Phoenix! I use a CFFC-048 carbon fiber wrapped, 48 cf at 2200 psi, 19.5" x 6.8", and 6.4lb. I mounted it in the baggage compartment on the bulkhead about 2.5' behind the pilot. From Mountain High. You might be able to fill at Parowan (they have cart), and I think I saw an oxygen cart at Richfield, UT. Rifle, CO, might have it, or you may be able to get a fill from Schmulik Dimenstein, the local glider pilot that maintains his own cylinders in a hangar there. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |
