Thanks David! This model is definitely one I’m considering. Good to know that it served you well in regards to size and data collection. Did you find the mini acceptable without using the humidity filters? I have an ResMed 10 for home also. How would you say it compares in regards to airflow...

I’d buy it, but that’s speaking from someone who plans to own and fly no matter what. I’m gonna fly regardless of all sorts of things, economy, insurance, age, etc. If I’m in good health, guess what? I’m going to fly my happy arse off! I bought one just over 18 mo ago. 1981 A36. The airplane...

Hey folks. I’d appreciate recommendations for a travel CPAP machine. Looking specifically at what works well for pilots, data collection, convenience, or anything else that will make my travel easier. Also looking for dependability as I’ll be overnighting about 12 days per month with the new...

I wouldn’t have a problem with a John Jewell engine, especially if it’s an older one. I’ve been flying his engines regularly for well over 20 years. I can’t say the same of Jewell in Kennet MO.

Y’all, great info here. I appreciate everything. I’m definitely going to take another look at the Resmed mini now. As long as I can easily and consistently get my data from it I’ll be fine. OSCAR sounds a little less intimidating now also. The thought of loosing my data has me financially...

I read about this as well. The hard core cpap nerds seem to love it! Sounds great but would probably require another type rating for me to figure out the details of OSCAR.

I was thinking about this machine as my first choice but read bad things about its data collection. Only one month at a time retrieval, etc. Do you use this one? Happy with it for travel? International travel? Thank you sir.

Ok. I was thinking about doing that. Just wasn’t sure how complicated it might be for them to confirm my compliance. Any travel machine recommendations? None of them are perfect from what I’m reading. Thank you!!

Hey folks, I’ve been using the ResMed Auto Sense for home and occasional travel. Been doing this for 3 years now and can honestly say that I couldn’t be happier or more pleased with my sleep quality. Problem is I’ve now taken a full time flying job that’s going to require significantly more...

Damn that’s cool Gary!!! I’ve always used 100LL from tank drains to wash engines.

Excellent point! Allowing an experienced personal mechanic to manage heavy maintenance can be very helpful and actually lower the overall costs. I have a very good customer who’s sold on having A&P representation for his large jobs now. It’s so much easier for a mechanic to fight the battle when...

Absolutely not John Jewell. I’ve flown a lot of John’s engines and own one now. Zero problems here! It’s an old school John Jewell engine. Don’t know anything about his current work.

Yeah, there’s no telling. Most my dealings with John was a long time ago. That big flight school at OLV uses him for all the trainer engines. I’m convinced these engine shops are capable of producing a high quality product when they want to, or when they get paid a premium amount. No telling how...

Hang on now. Don’t get John Jewell engine shop in Holly Spring mixed up with the Jewell in Kennet MO. Huge difference! I’ve flown a lot of John’s engines. Never once had a problem. He did the engine on my 172. That was 25 years ago. Still running strong! Just delivered one a few weeks ago...

Good catch. I noticed that also. Thought the pic was trying to show the incorrect safety..

Your experience is inline with what I’ve been told by another owner and also a quality engine facility. It ended up being one of the main deal breakers on a prebuy that I did once. All cylinders had to be reworked after a couple hundred hours, plus other issues and I found a cracked case, etc...

Yep. Hardwood. Doin alright:)

Thanks for the replies. I’m now a carpenter instead of a mechanic! Found a chunk of oak in the garage. It’s the thick stuff they make oak stair treads with.

Gotcha. Thanks guys.

Bell where did you find the ones you purchased? Figured Aircraft spruce would have something like this but no luck.
