Sorry, I'm not sure on the size right now. I did not get the electronic "economizer" system. I have the needle valve regulator with both the cannula and mask. I'm real pleased with the system. It came with a case for the tank that securely buckles to the back of a front seat and unbuckles to have refilled or to stow. I like the manifold on top of the tank for each ox line, it is real obvious how it connects and easy. Mostly I like the comfort factor when flying over the Cascades, Rockies or Siskyous.

David, Thank you for all the details anwsering my questions. One of the major differences between the Sky Ox and the Mountain High system is electronic control of the O2, automatic vs Self adjusted O2 flow. Don, Do you find the Moutain High system supplies adequate O2 as altitude increases ? Have you ever had the chance to compare? I realize this is a relative subject but I would be interested since David brought up the flexibility to increase O2 as needed.

one last note on tanks.
The tall tank I have will stand up perfectly in the middle of the seats and to the rear and the regulator is just behind your shoulder. I think they made this tank for a Maule

On the MH system, each O2 line has a control needle valve, so you can control the flow independently. I don't fly up in the 20's, so I don't know if you would be taxing the system. I was told they made a high quality system and I wanted one right now...so I flew down to Redmond and got one. I'm sure you won't go wrong with any of them. I did some comparisons online and this looked good.
