David is a current 25 year Captain with WestJet and a 17 year veteran CF-18 & F-5 fighter and Snowbird pilot in the CAF. His beautiful and capable F1 Rocket is purpose built for David's love of flying through and over the Canadian Rockies out of Calgary where the 100 mile min safe altitude is 13,800. Having the AVI24EX system offers great flexibility and increased safety of flight to fly above the peaks and weather when desired. David with his team of local experts Mike, Mark, and Geoff took great care to install everything the "right" way, with custom built support panels, doublers and great attention to detail.

The under tailcone area was chosen as the location for the AVI24EX control box installation location. 

A custom panel was built to attach the AVI24EX control box to. The panel will then be attached to the ribbing in the tailcone compartment. 

AVI24EX control box mounted, wired, and ready to install. 

Tubing connected and run to pilot and copilot bulkheads. Backup line also run to pilot station.   

Tubing in preparation to connect to bottle. 

Pilot Bulkhead and backup bulkhead installed in arm panel. Aithre dual USB port also installed in arm panel ready for connection. Elbow PTC needed here at the tubing bend. Any tubing bend greater than 10degrees should use an elbow fitting.  

Arm panel installed. Easy access to connect cannula. 

Custom bracket and doubler built for the 2 provided bottle clamps. Very elegant and safe way to install the bottle.     

Tailcone paneling replaced. Bottle brackets installed with rubber bottle clamps installed to secure 408L bottle. 

Note the custom built bottle port panel. 

Final bottle installation and connections ready for testing.
