[simpits-tech] What really hacks me off....

NO problem.  You have me curious now as to the difference between the
F-15 and F-16 panel.  I will try and take some pictures of both of the
panels I have and post them within the next couple of days.  I have
hooked my reg to my air compressor and did some initial testing with the
valve pressurized and with my helmet/O2 mask all hooked up and it worked
pretty good.  Pressurized the system up to about 40 psi and you could
actually take breaths out of the O2 mask and see the flow flag activate
as the air was delivered.  I plan on using a SCUBA tank and regulator as
my air source for this system as breathing air from a shop compressor
could have some health risks associated with it.
