Re: How much air can be stored onboard?

As a practical matter you are limited by the rate you can charge your reservoir with your legal compressor. In elimination matches, the cycle times get shorter along the opportunity to recharge your system between matches. Consider having to start a match with a discharged system. With more storage volume, it takes longer to bring up your system to a usable pressure. Sometime less is more here.
