The aluminum and composite cylinders require testing more frequently, and possibly a life limit. The SkyOX uses Cannulas (2 stub hoses that set at your nostrils) that are comfortable and you can eat and drink with them in use. Also their cannulas which are good to 18,000' (and most Cozys aren't going to flying higher than that anyway) and are economical on oxygen with 17 manhours duration at 15,000' My wife feels more comfortable when on the O2. In 5 years I have only filled it once. The unit is mounted on the right side, vertical, behind the front seat, and on top the armrest. I am able to reach between the Cosy headrests to plug in the tubes, turn on/off, and adjust pressure. I keep the cannulas and one regular mask furnished in the furnished cloth bag, on top luggage where it can be reached. The cylinder is cradled in 2 composite saddles with 2 quick release straps. The cylinder is always in the airplane ready to fly, you never know when you'll need or want to stay in the clear on top of weather. A no-go for me is - can't see widely scattered thunderstorms by being on top with excellent visibilty. As a result for home a rare emergency, It wouldn't help me.

Web Page at: http://www.mtn-high.com/ Mountain High probably has the most efficient delivery system available and Ric will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. They can set you up with almost anything you need and are VERY homebuilder friendly. Ric and Shari Lee are in the process of building a Berkut right now and Shari is a Family Practitioner. Good Stuff (but not cheap), good people and they've helped me out on several occasions. Ric also knows more jokes than anyone I've ever met.
