Default O2 Flowmeter Management

How does the general soaring poplulation manage their oxygen flowmeter and
tubing?
I have a Standard Jantar and would like to mount the flowmeter in the
cockpit somewhere that I can reach (the panel would be too far) and not
have to grab and hold it verticle to read/adjust.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

I don't know what brand of flowmeter you have but if it is an Aerox
brand, a plastic clip for holding a pen can be purchased at most office
supply stores. Velcro this to a convenient spot and pop the site tube
into the clip.

Dave,

I prefer the Mountain High holster system. Set the flow in the range
you are flying, then you can use the pneumatic switch to turn the flow
on and off. It tends to save the over stress on the needle valve using
it as an on/off as well as flow control. The holster has straps so it
can be Velcroed to a side panel or around your leg. I very seldom
change mine in flight. Set it for the range of flight and use the
on/off valve if I get low.

Hi Tim

I am curious what kind of pneumatic switch you are using?

Thanks
