Default Getting the most from your air

So I was pondering on some ways to increase the your air system with these larger gear. It seems using more than one valve is a way to increase it, plus having adequate size air bottles. What I have been pondering if having three valves tied into the same air bottles limits the system. I was thinking about using three valves on my current project but use one air source so that a leak in any of the gear is sinced by the gear failsafe. Thoughts? Cheers!

Fender, I've used these things as air pressure sensors using the 18mz telemetry.

You can use more than one if you like in a system. If I get an alarm its gear down and land.

One advantage, it will alert you of low pressure before you take off in case you forgot to fill.

It reports bar rather than psi not really a problem as you just set the alarm in bar.
