I finally found a place to put the O2D2 unit and tame the hoses. The 90 degree connectors help a lot. I've been holding off on this location because it obscures a required Surefly placard I unthinkingly place right there. I contacted SF and they're sending a replacement I can put in another available spot.
I also ran some experiments today, using the boom mount. With my normal breathing the system would maintain spO2 at 93% climbing to and cruising at ~11.3 K PA. By slow belly breathing (adapted from my singing technique) it would come up to 96%. A totally repeatable exercise some others may find handy. It works in the absence of an O2 supplement system also.
