I contacted Vair about their 1.1 CFM compressors, and the customer service rep I spoke with said that the specs they have listed online are incorrect. He was familiar with the FRC pneumatic rules, and confirmed that they are NOT in fact FRC legal.

I wonder how many teams ended up with illegal compressors because the spec sheet was wrong...
