Re: LOX

[wcemt@terraworld.net]

We utilize a LOX system on our A-star and 
love it.  We have had no problems with 
leakage.  In the summer months when it is 
hot we do get some bleed off but it has 
never been enough to leave us with to little 
O2.  The initial expense is on the high side 
but in the long run it is well worth it.
