Re: Legality of third party fans
I'd say they aren't legal. CTR doesn't sell them, and they don't meet any of the other criteria for legality. If they happen to have the same model number as the one Andymark sells as part of first choice, I'd pass them. Otherwise, I'd bring it to my LRI.
In general, I think the fan limitations were designed to keep the playing field level on power. If you had super awesome fans on your air compressor or speed controller, you could get more power through them, therefore giving a competitive advantage.
