O2 Bottle Space
I am curious how to best utilize my unused oxygen cylinder receptacle
space. Since I fly in an area where we rarely get above 5,000 feet, I have available for use this long empty slot. It would be great to be able to use it to store items that I might want to get to during flight. The trick would be having some way to pull the items out to access them in flight and then be able to put them back for access at a later time. I was thinking of a container with a rope attached at one end to pull it most of the way out and then push it back when done. However, I can't think of any durable, lightweight containers of the appropriate dimensions. Any ideas or suggestions for making use of this potential storage space? Thanks! WD |

One of our pilots with a LS4 used one of those round cardboard
shipping tubes. The clever thing was that he cut a slot, from about 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock and about 6 inches long at one end. Once loaded, he turned the tube so that the side of the holder would cover the slot. To access the contents, he just turned the tube again so the slot was at the top. -John On Apr 1, 12:10 pm, Whiskey Delta wrote: I am curious how to best utilize my unused oxygen cylinder receptacle space.
