I appreciate the words of caution. I think with a little education/knowledge on how Co2 behaves, some reasonable precautions and careful monitoring, it's a reasonably safe thing to undertake.

Of course many folks interpret "reasonably safe" differently depending on their own life experiences. Take yourself for example; If that's your ultralight in the photo in your profile, your reasonably safe is very different to many others reasonably safe... ;)

That is my ultralight as you call it........... And saying that my "reasonably safe" is different from others is a gross understatement. For example I consider GFI completely unnecessary in a well grounded well designed brewing system, having worked with high voltage all my life. I "play with" guns and explosives, at 60, I still disappear for days at a time solitary in some of the most remote and rugged areas in the lower 48, have been caught in rips a number of time off the coast of Hawaii, and have been known to swim as much as a mile or more off shore, cross country ski up into Montana's Crazy mountains alone in the winter in areas where nobody else goes, hike into the mountains, canyons, and desert alone all the time, etc. Kayak alone more often than with others, in fact years ago when I lived in Missoula on the river bank, I frequently kayaked 11 miles home from work at the plywood mill in Bonner after working swing shift (2:30 AM), shooting the spillway on a small millpond dam on the Blackfoot River just below my put in.... Only about a 16' drop........ But that was in the 70's..... You'd be right in suggesting that my standards of what is "safe" are different from most people, but I do believe in knowing what you are doing and how to do it safely. How many people do you know who have welded hundreds of gas tanks over the years, a few even had the gas in them, but that tries even my nerves!!

All pressure bottles have weights marked on them, so if you have a good scale, you can safely fill them to the correct capacity.
