Thanks Tom, that’s helpful. Who supplies the German bottles? We are in Europe for a month, can we carry one on a flight? I expect it would have to be empty if we did?

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Oxygen systems Hi Pam, Most US bottles will not fit in Schleicher holder. Either a smaller bottle with packing or get a German steel bottle [which will fit, and gives max capacity] and use German DIN44 fittings. An alternative, which both our gliders have is the German bottle with a DIN44 to American std CGA[64?] adapter to use the std US regulator from MH. The adapters are on the MH website, you can then use this adapter for filling. The extra money for the reg with gauge is worth it as the MH bottles have gauge on bottle side of tap but German bottle does not. The US is the aviation standard here. With a refilling kit you can hire a big bottle and refill your own bottles. Talk to Maddog as`well.

What cylinders are most suitable for glider use? What fittings give easiest access to re-filling services in Australia? What sort of good or bad experiences are there in getting Oxygen cylinders refilled commercially?
