EDS for DG-300

Am planning to upgrade to an EDS unit.

Now have to think about where to mount the unit,
type and size of bottle, etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Roy

I have a ventus b and mount the EDS unit below the canopy on the right
side with the controls facing me easily reachable with my hand. The
unit mounts with "dual lock" plastic velcro like stuff, comes with
the EDS. This also allows you to easily see the settings and turn off
and on. The 4mm OD poly line from your regulator to the unit is low
pressure 15 psi. I use RC Model rubber control rod guides to route the
hose fixed to the sides of the glider with a drop of superglue. The
cannula can be connect and place in the pouch.

I have found will all oxygens systems you should get the largest bottle
that can fit in you glider. If the bottle is hard to access, I would
recommend a flex fill. Both of these save filling hassels.

I have EDS oxygen systems on my website at competative prices. Please
see

I choose to mount the regulator box to the inside of the fuselage with
velcro just behind my right shoulder so I can turn my head and see the
controls. This puts it completely out of the way but near my right ear so I
can hear the beeping.

To keep the tubing under control, I wrapped 2" self adhesive velcro fuzz
tape around the tube full length and stuck 1" wide self-adhesive hook tape
to the inside of the fuselage. The whole O2 system can be removed or
re-installed in 5 minutes. The EDS has to be the easiest O2 system to
install ever.

I've got a DG-600 same configuration as the 300. I mounted my EDS
below the dump valves on the ledge by my right knee. Somewhat easy
access you can reach it, see it and hear it.and it's not in the way.
Use the good hard looped velcro so you can remove when needed. Run
your tubing along the water dump cables and you can store the canula in
the pockets on the right. I went to a 13 cu' aluminum bottle gives me
about 10+ hours up on the Whites and Sierra's between 10k-18k.
