    Subject: Re: O2 Systems
    It makes some difference whether you want to design a built-in system, or whether a portable system will do the job. Different brands vary by how the flow is regulated. Many of the portable systems have the needle valve for fine tuning the flow at the top of the cylinder...which won't work if the tank is located beyond the reach of front seat passengers. Built-in systems have connectors...kind of like a miniature of your compressed air shop setup. Downside is each port can leak, and you need a shut off valve at the tank that you can remotely operate. Unless you plan on going high all the time, a portable may be more useful. I am thinking of locating on the center console between the seats, where I could reach the valves from front seat. But there are many ways to do this. I already have the system, using in my current flying airplane.

    I would recommend you borrow somebody's portable. But..there is a big difference between constant flow and pulse demand. I installed a Mountain High system. A little pricy, but very nice. Living in the west, we use it on almost every trip. The pulse demand systems use a lot less O2 and do not dry your nose out as much.

    Subject: Re: O2 Systems
    Definitely! I had just the constant flow versions for a while, with the "conserving cannulas". Those aren't nearly as comfortable, with the balloon cannulas on them. Then I got the Precise Flight conservers that save more O2, and have a very nice small cannula. Those are better on O2, and far more comfortable. And as Rene' mentions, up from there you have Mountain High's systems, which would be top of the line. Not sure which cannulas they use but I'm betting they'd be the small ones. Basically, going from the bottom of the line to the top either gives you more O2 savings, or more comfort, or both...so your decisions will be based on how often you need to use O2, and how long your flights will be, and how handy O2 refills are. For me, I fill at my hangar and my bottle can generally get me through a trip anywhere and back if I use it well. I may have to fill at a remote site in extreme cases. The mountain high user would probably use less O2 than me by a ways yet and be able to make most trips round trip without a refill. The least appealing would be to just go with a cheap system, because it'll be much less comfortable, and the O2 won't last as long and if you have 4 people in the plane, you'll only be able to use it for hopping mountains or short stretches over buildups or whatever. In O2, comfort and endurance is really the key for some people, so spend what you need to get one that you really like, if you buy. I know the thread was started with the question of renting. I don't know that it's practical. Cannulas are kind of an "infection control" type personal device. So you'd probably have to buy all new cannulas just to rent a bottle and regulator. I don't know of places that rent systems. If you're mainly worried about comfort, maybe buy a cannula that's skinny and the balloon type and just try them on for a while. Yeah, the O2 is a little dry but if you can handle the cannula, the O2 isn't a big deal. Oh, and don't forget to definitely buy an O2 meter for your finger...you'll want to know the O2 setting is good for you and that's the only real way to tell exactly.

    Don't know about renting, but imagine that will not be easy. If I was doing it again, I would definitely install a top of the line system in the airplane. We are using a SkyOx portable system that I have owned for many years. It works fine, but is a bit of a pain to deal with securing the bottle and dealing with long lines. Built in would be a must for me at this point. This airplane likes to fly high, so we use it on most trips.

    Subject: Final fitting of the doors
    From: "Eric_Kallio" <scout019@msn.com>
    I went to do the final fitting of the doors during assembly of the plane and after the windshield was in. The left door fit just like it did when it was removed after I made it. The right however is a different story. It seems to have flattened out a little in the curve which means when closing there is a 3/4" gap a the door pins between the door outer skin and the fuse. The doors were stored in the same place, for the same amount of time, and in the same position. Anyone seen this before or have a suggestion on how to fix it? Heat gun and tie-down straps haven't worked. It is so bad that even when using the third latch from Sean at Planearound, the door simply twists and the aft pin won't engage the pin guides. I REALLY do not feel like remaking a door because it bowed! Anyone have some experience they can share? Thanks. Eric Kallio Trying to get it together so I can go to the hanger.

    I have all the wiring in place for a backup alternator also but it really is optional in my electrical system and will wait until later to add one if at all. At OSH this year, plane-power <http://plane-power.com/> had a vacuum pad mounted 40 amp backup alternator on display. Similar to their primary units, it will/can be internally regulated. Price for the internally reglated unit is to be $695. -- William N40237 - http://wcurtis.nerv10.com/ On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 8:35 AM, Tim Olson <Tim@myrv10.com> wrote: > > I was dead set on wanting a standby alternator > originally, but after a while I came to realize > that with as much backup battery as I put in > I really don't need one.

    Subject: O2 Systems
    Marcus, I installed a built in Aerox O2 system not knowing how much use it would get. After 170 hours of flight I am VERY pleased to have the syste m permanently installed in the -10. I find it quite handy and provides peace of mind and easy access to O2 even on flights where I hadn=92t initially planned on climbing high enough to need O2. I keep a small plastic box that contains all my canulas within reach during flight. My system is basic but with an additional shutoff valve in the center console. We basically plumbed a main O2 line from the bottles main valve to a secondary valve in the center console and then plumbed 4 short lines to the outlets. Because my system does not leak I leave the bottle valve open all the time and turn on/off the O2 from the secondary valve next to my hip . Next to the secondary valve is an O2 level indicator so I always know how much O2 is remaining in-flight. To fill up the bottle I have a remote Schrader Valve mounted near the rear bulkhead access door. Removing & replacing the O2 bottle in my setup for refilling would be a bummer. If I were to do it again I would consider easier removal / reinstallation in the design/location but for now I see no need to touch the bottle. I am fortunate in that the local FBO gives FREE O2 to any customer that buys fue l from them! Normally I would feel guilty but not after I review my monthly fuel charges. Sorry no photos of the center console. http://www.painttheweb.com/painttheweb/rv-10/AeroxO2.aspx Good luck, Robin *From:* owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] *On Behalf Of *MARCUS COOPER *Sent:* Monday, August 30, 2010 5:01 AM *To:* rv10-list@matronics.com *Subject:* RV10-List: O2 Systems I am considering installing an oxygen system in our RV-10 but would like to try it first to evaluate the airplanes performance and my wife's comfort level.

    I like the portable system because it isxeasily removed for flights where we ight is more critical than altitude. We have the big steel SkyOx cylinder a nd strap it to the tunnel cover from the rear seat backs forward. I don't m ind the skybox canulas, but I imagine different ones could be easily made to fit on the low pressure side of the regulator. We've never had problems or complaints.

    Unless you are using a LOT of O2, the cost of oxygen is relatively minor. If you do use a lot, getting your own refill setup and a rental large bottle begins to make sense. Don't forget that whatever you get needs to be able to come out every 5 yrs for hydrotesting.

    Subject: Re: O2 Systems
    I bought a portable Aerox system and built it into the console between the seats. An E bottle fits perfectly on the tunnel. The main valve sticks out of the console in the front, and we made a little window so you can see the existing gauge. The portable system has 4 quick disconnect fittings in the regulator. I plumbed on to the front seats and one to the back seats, then split each one from there. Aerox said splitting the flow would probably work but that they hadn't tested it--I have, and it works fine. I bought a mixture of their fittings and quick-disconnects from McMaster for the low pressure plumbing. The console is secured with piano hinge so it comes out pretty easily, which is how we origially filled the bottle. But we use it so often now that I ended up putting a filler hose on it that just stows in the console. After leaving the main valve on a couple times and wasting several fills, I put closing the valve on the checklist. We use the Oxysaver cannulas from Aerox. Tim, I looked at Precise Flight "Oxymizer" cannulas and they look very similar if not identical to ours. Do you know if there's a difference? The cannula aren't the most comfortable thing in the world, and the kids hate 'em, but they really conserve the O2. Finally, not to start a primer war, but we use welding oxygen--as suggested by Aerox.

    FBO's/clubs that I know of that rent, rent only masks (because they can be easily cleaned with alcohol). As the posts suggests, nasal cannulas are far superior, I would never recommend a mask anymore. We use the "conserving" cannulas with the little bulb under the nose; I find it so comfortable that I often don't bother removing it on descent; I wait until after landing. And pulse oxymeters have come down in price, it is very useful to get one. Interesting to watch it in flight; deep breaths are much more effective than shallow ones, in getting your O2 level up, at least for me. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=310680#310680

    Hi Dave, I think they all just buy the same cannulas, but the difference is between the various types. Here are the ones I use with my precise flight demand conservers: http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/flights/20090422/RV20090411144929.jpg Here are the ones that came with the system before the demand conservers: http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/flights/20060605/P200606020005.jpg You can see it's a pretty big difference in overall size. Neither is what I'd call awfully uncomfortable, but the smaller ones are definitely nicer. And I'm right with you on the Welding Oxygen. I have a fill station in my hangar. I've been going to the same place for diving/welding/flying gasses now since about 1992 or so, and they fill all bottles of O2 off the same tap. The differences are in labeling and fill procedures, but the gas is the same for all.

    Well, as we saw, it can be any number of things, from differences in injectors, the flow distributor, intake leaks, etc. You would like them to be within 100, but they are unlikely to ever be the same. Unless the engine builder did very careful flow matching between cylinders, even just the differences in cylinder intake and exhaust can affect the outcome.

    Subject: Copperstate RV10 Nest 2010
    From: "woxofswa" <woxof@aol.com>
    Planning is underway for the Third (and last) Annual Copperstate RV10 Nest and barbeque. I hope to have the nest set up for the entire three days for peeps to have a shady place to crash and hang out. The luncheon will be noonish on Saturday the 23rd and last until we can't stand it anymore. Evie is promising better food this year. (She hated the store bought tortillas last year and plans fresh cooked on the spot this year.) I told her that she still has to do the chocolate covered treats for Robin. As always we have to walk a fine line with not competing with the paid concessionaires. However, we left enough goodies with the campground hosts over the last couple of years that they have come to know and expect us. The usual carne asada, salad, dessert, soft drinks and water will be available for voluntary and discretionary donation. Adult beverages must be BYOB.

    Given your document reference is 15 years old, and that all the major email software programs(Microsoft, etc) by default use top posting, not to mention it is far easier to read with preview panes, where you don't have to look at the quote unless you want to, I'd say it is open for debate, and is settled as which primer to use. ;-) On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 1:50 PM, Dj Merrill <deej@deej.net> wrote: > > On 08/30/2010 04:19 PM, Kelly McMullen wrote: >> >> Not to start any disagreement, but top posting is by far the preferred >> method on most listservs. > > > Published Internet Etiquette (RFC 1855) is to trim the message you are > replying to just the part that is relevant, and then place your text > immediately following that text.

    Subject: Re: O2 Systems
    Improperly top posted... ;) (sorry Dj) :) Yes, these cannulas work with the demand conservers from Precise Flight. They have 2 tubes, one I think is a flow tube and one is a sense tube that senses your inhalation. The way it works is a one-way inline valve is forced closed by your exhalation, and opened by the inhalation. I think that might be all on one tube that it's sensed, but I'm not sure, I'd have to look. The other tube is just for flowing the gas. The conserver I have a picture of here: http://www.myrv10.com/tips/accessories/oxygen/index.html I think it could be attached to anybody's O2 system. It's supposed to save 3x-5x the gas over the standard conserving balloon cannulas I think. The mountain high stuff conserves even more. But these are an all mechanical device. You set the altitude on a bezel on the bottom of the device, or you can set it to constant flow if you wish. That sets the flow rate you deliver. Otherwise, the unit just senses your breathing (you need to breathe through your nose, but that's the only way you SHOULD breathe using cannulas), and flows only when you're breathing. That's why it's more conserving. The bag ones are just filling the little balloons in between inhale and exhale...which works fine much of the time but sometimes you'll use more than others, and the bag may overfill or underfill. It's not a horrible system, just not set up to flow on demand. The one I have uses no batteries or electrics to flow it, which is nice. For a portable system, it's pretty good. Costs less than Mountain High, but much more than the cheap systems with simple flowmeters. I think it's about $300-ish per seat for the demand conservers. But, considering the nice small cannulas and the conserving O2, I figured I'd do it. No, it won't probably pay for itself for a long time, but the feel and stuff has a value, as does the extra endurance. But for the big spender, you probably can't beat Mountain High.

    I have little zip bags...I got them from the Lasik place I went to a few years ago...kind of like mini soft-side lunch boxes, that I roll up the conserver and cannula and store in. When we think we'll use O2, I put them by each seat. Then in flight we open it up, plug into the bottle, and set the demand thing by us...Andrea's and mine go on the tunnel between us. From there, I run the cannula hose up over the seat belt hanger and down to my head. Keeps the hose coming at us from above. You do need access to them in flight to set the altitude. Would be cool to do a more permanent mount but there isn't a really great way for that. But it works well for a portable unit. If I were doing fixed mount, I'd just buy a Mountain High system...if you're hard plumbing it that would be the real nice way to go.

Instead of everyone driving on the right side of the road, should each of us just arbitrarily pick the left or right side of the road on a whim? English grammar was also established more than 15 years ago. If you are reading a page in a novel written in English, do you read it from the top of the page down, or do you read it from the bottom of the page up? Should we arbitrarily have some pages on a novel read top down, and others bottom up? US road rules were made so we could at least make an attempt at being polite drivers and to minimize chaos on the roads. RFC 1855 was written to offer guidelines on how to be a polite Internet Citizen to help minimize chaos and increase understanding. English grammar is an attempt to offer rules and guidelines so that we can understand the written message based around a common framework. Top posting is in violation of both the Netiquette Guidelines AND English grammar. Why propagate a behaviour that is in clear opposition to the way that we read and understand the English language and also published Internet Guidelines? -Dj -- Dj Merrill - N1JOV Glastar Sportsman 2+2 Builder #7118 N421DJ - http://deej.net/sportsman/ Grumman Yankee Driver N9870L - http://deej.net/yankee/ Join us on the New England Aviation Forums - http://forum.deej.net/
