Yeah, I know some of you naysayers will say that Aviators breathing oxygen is all you should have. I hate to burst your bubble, but an O2 distibutor told me he sells the same stuff to hospitals he sells to airports, and welders, just different markings, same source. It's 1/5 the cost. I made velcro straps and mounted mine sideways on the back of my seat against the floorboard, forward of the rear stick. If you mountain fly alot, it helps, especially above 12.5. Unfortunately, I loaned mine to an RV3 guy who never gave it back....ha!

How have people mounted Oxygen in their RV-4s? Mine is removable and only put in when I need it but I don't really like it where it is. However, I can't find a better place for it. My RV-4 is open below the instrument panel. I made stiffeners for my battery box and mounted my MH oxygen bottle on top. I couldnt' find any other place that was easily reachable. -- Scott VanArtsdalen RV-4 N311SV, FLYING!!
