I’d go for the lynx or the 345. You should think about what future upgrades may be and get something you know will be compatible with potential future plans. I would NOT stick with the original and a sky beacon.

He’s thousands of feet below you, you’re both VFR, there was no issue. He wasn’t talking to the controller so he didn’t know intentions. The system worked normally. The controller was being cautious. There was no danger, nobody did anything wrong, calling Vance seems extreme and excessive. at no time was there a “close call”

You need to ask a mechanic and or prop shop what you need. “an ovation propeller” is not a part number, won’t appear in the TCDS or any STC paperwork.

I don’t believe we have seen a direct comparison as a real world test in this thread. what we do have is someone that went well into the flight levels, with 2 people, without a mask, and advertised they were still at 90% (or something like that) those are not good numbers and that IS hypoxic. we also know that the most popular sensors tend to be inaccurate at concentrations below 95% so we don’t REALLY know in this example.

115k for a C? that should be your first red flag. There are only a few Cs I have seen that would bring that kind of price, and that doesn’t sound like one of them. The biggest hurdle will be insurance, which again will probably not give you that value. Avemco will probably insure you for up to 80k, but will be expensive. the rest is really based on you.

Is that about how long you have left? I expected based on your comments you’re a crusty, old, cheap, stubborn, curmudgeon, and even though I don’t like you I’d hope you have longer than that!

I have things to do in life. I can’t spend my entire existence on the computer writing messages about mooneys all day. sometimes it takes a minute to catch up.

Well, let’s be clear what happened. You posted an aircraft you bought,(with a questionable prebuy if I remember correctly) which you said spent its entire life inside, but had highly corroded parts that clearly had spent a significant period of time outside. You were getting multiple pints of water in your tanks as a result and from the images there were a few other items that needed correcting. You then posted images that showed a slap on paint job, that was done questionably at best followed by a cable that had clearly been unplugged for a while and painted over. you were encouraged to have someone knowledgeable look over your airplane carefully, as it did not appear to be what you (and the original owner) said it was. Advice you ignored. just so we have the history. And yes, that much water in fuel has killed several if not many.

Funny, I said the same thing about using an oxygen generator above an altitude the manufacturer says it doesn’t support. Funny how you circle talk and argue for whatever suits you on a particular day. whatever makes your maintenance the cheapest and fastest isn’t always the best idea.

A lot of it probably depends on environment. I’m at sea level and it’s in the air conditioned basement of my house. I’ve seen others with units in Colorado only doing 91/92%. When Inogen claims not to use their unit for 2 people above 14k, I believe them.

Mine was outputting 98% when we tested the output of a bottle I had filled.

While we’re here and this is solved, does anyone want to take bets on the ACTUAL airworthiness of Mike’s 50 year old gears/actuator?

It does that itself. The concentrator has a measurement at the output and lights a led. the compressor has a sensor on the input and also an associated led. The compressor will not compress without meeting the threshold for o2 concentration. when I tested mine it was 98%.

There are adaptors for the nipple fitting needed for the compressor. That fitting will go to a cga540 or whatever else you need.
