We have two ways to go with this...tell the manufactures to build "CF Tested" compressors, or we make our own company! LOL!
I think with today's technology, they can build a product for durability and efficiency...but they should just toss out the "lightweight" idea cause lightweight and durability just don't mix!
How many CF'rs just put the compressor in one spot?
How many CF'rs always put the compressor away?
If it's within a reasonable weight, I think we can manage with a little "bulkiness", can we?
Perhaps a little bit of noise is ok, too...but then there's more than one way to build a compressor! (Ok, maybe only four ways, "rotating impellers" and three differenty type of "Piston-diaphram" methods.
However, in order to avoid having to change compressors every year or so, the manufactures need to listen to our "special case" in usage!
