Don=99t remember having any problems over the attachment ball which the others are involved with but I can=99t think that the ball wears since it is steel, but the socket on the ram end being plastic may need changing on a like for like basis which I think they do on a re-gass event anyway, but ask them.

Our records show that this was supplied complete with end fittings. If you could take a look at this link http://www.industrialgassprings.com/uk/prod_info.asp?GS_No=F06-B hopefully this is the ball joint you have? If not could you please advise, there is a very slim chance that you have an imperial thread rather than M5 stud. If I can be of any further assistance please do contact me.

There is a good article at : www.avweb.com/news/aeromedical/181896-1.html That gives normal (ie average in healthy people) O2 saturations as follows: 10k ft - 88-93% 13k. - 83-88% 16k - 75-80 % 20k. - 70-75% The authors point out that some people without acclimatisation wil be fully functional at 20,000 ft whereas others will be unconscious, and that here is no critical level appropriate for everyone. That means to me that if anyone is contemplating flying at a level appreciably above 10k without O2 they would be well advised to carry out experiments with an oximeters and a safety pilot on oxygen.

The figures I quoted are, of course, only good for low-altitude.

This was Ok until the altitude produced a pressure lower than the partial pressure of O2. ** We were wearing soft leather gloves to offset burnt skin in a cockpit fire. Down came the order - be prepared to doff one glove when you begin to feel even slightly strange - it may be your oxygen system is defunct and you haven't seen the breath gauge if installed. With the glove off, press down the thumb nail on the bare hand with your first finger. The nail should go white (blood pressed out of it). WHEN you let go, it should immediately go red (blood resumed). If it doesn't, you're in the preliminary stages of oxygen starvation. Descend, descend, descend. Alcohol, smoking and several other endeavours arrange to starve you partially of O2 - (that's where the fun is). Familiarity with this state conditions your body to accept lower O2 levels and so some can suspect loss later than others. Drink less, smoke less and poke your thumbnail more often and save money. That's what opposing digits are for. Ferg **Of course with the advanced fighters, O2 came pressurised above 36,000 or so and the gloves came back on because you had to physically breathe OUT and loss was evident instantly. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:01:38 AM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Mountain flying From: rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us Hi Group All this talk of supplemental oxygen raises a question: Has anyone used or flown at altitude with an oxygen concentrator instead of an oxygen bottle? Please share details (cost, what model, where it was purchased, size, weight and power consumption). Thx.
