Did anyone flew with the more compact and modern CRU-79 regulator?
Are they available as NS (New Surplus) ?

This unit is used by parachutists for high altitude jumps but I haven't heard of any glider pilots using it. Good to 50k' and very compact so I don't know why not. I spoke to someone who knew about the skydiving application and he said they used an A14 in the jump plane to pre-breath on their way up and then used the more compact CRU-79 when they jumped. No idea what they cost. I decided to stick to what has been used in gliding but as a backup system this might be very attractive.
