I am thinking of getting a portable oxygen system to use on the 206 and other aircraft that I fly. These hot summer days with high density altitudes in Idaho and Wyoming leave me gasping. Maybe it is just age. We have a system from Mountain High. They advertise less to GA, but seem well known in glider and ultralight communities. They have all kinds of systems from pulse-demand to super-lightweight Anyway we have their standard system (aluminum tank, oxymiser cannulas, masks included, very nice case). 4 yrs, going strong. http://www.mountainhighoxygen.com Their salesman Ric is a sometime poster on these groups, esp. .homebuilt. He is building a beautiful Berkut. He used to give an "RAH scum" discount, you might ask about the plane, and the discount, if you call. Cheers, Sydney (no connection except as satisfied customer and Berkut admirer) |

You could wait until winter and the water freezes. or You could also wait until tide goes out and use the wet sand beach (has been done many times). Just two options.

You skim the water on the mains (the water is as hard as a rock when your moving) and time your roll out so you hit the beach at the right time. You can land on a beach with less than 100 feet of runway doing this. Great! But how do you take off again? Mike Weller |

However, many of the super bush planes actually get off the ground in much less space than they land. You can build up speed while flying over the water in ground effect. -Robert (haven't tried it, just read about it) |
