Mornin’ all. Ray Lawrence needs an oxygen bottle for testing the UL turbo engine at high altitudes.

We’re in East central Georgia..Sandersville...call me 478 494 3757..
Thanks,

Hi Pierre, Ray is the A&P for my purchased 6A, and a friend. I’m based@ KMLJ Baldwin County. I saw your post early, but only responding now after I got together what Ray needs to borrow. I was a Respiratory Therapist as my first career. This will work, and he can tee it off if Chase flys with Ray.

Thanks

Thank you much. So Ray knows about it now?

The UL engine is one amazing piece of work and he still pulled 36” at 13,000’! Amazing, but he needs to go near 18,000’ for real life numbers.

Thanks again,
 
Yes

I snapped a pic of your request and my reply and texted it to him. Yes pretty amazing engine !
 
I have a bottle and mask, depending on altitude your going to need a mask.
The photo was from engine testing a sort of crop duster up to FL 250, gathering performance data.
However I’m in Weirsdlae fl and you would need to come get it, pretty sure there are restrictions on shipping filled O2 bottles.

On edit,I also have a hose that allows you to refill the bottle from a large tank, in my case it was a welding tank.


Why are the pictures sideways?

Thank you

Thanks for the offer but it looks like we’ve found one 20 miles away!

Ray is not IFR rated, so he has to stay under 18,000’. Did you file to go to FL250?

Regards,
