Default Recommendations for a small air compressor????

Maybe you meant 2 CFM at 80. 20CFM is pretty big.

Here is a medium duty compressor

and the following is about the same rating but light weight you can
move around easily:

Most of these types can be found at various local stores at similar
prices.

Lot of people think they need big compressors to build a plane.

I have worn out three compressors building/maintaining my plane. and
never needed more than about 5CFM - unless you use HVLP spray gun at
about 12 CFM - then you can rent one from local rentals. My most recent
one is a less noisy compact unit running at 1800 rpm. A lot of them are
quite noisy and "shake" the house (if you start in the garage).
