Exactly, and flights in a glider above 18k are very rare, to put it
optimistically :-) I've been using the EDS for years now, and it's just the way to go. It's fairly expensive, but it's worth it. A couple of years ago, I had a unit fail completely and it was replaced by MH without any hassle - lifetime warranty. However, depending on the mounting and storage of the unit, the main switch sucks a bit because it is not well protected against accidental switching on (EDS1, that is). With the unit running in the storage bag, battery life is limited and having a spare battery in the glider is a very good idea. -- Bert Willing ASW20 "TW" "Stefan" a écrit dans le message de ...

I'm repeating myself, but: Believe it or not, there's actually life outside the USA! The original poster posted with an *.ch address. If he's really living in Switzerland, as this address implies, then there's absolutely no legal concern. There are *no* regulations for oxygen use by private pilots here. Stefan |

Yep, but this plate is fixed by elastics and that's not really reliable.

Do you have the plastic switch protector plate that mounts over the switches, recessing them enough to make accidental switching much less likely? It's a big help on my unit. -- ------- Eric Greenwell USA |
