An expansion on my concept for electric powered, light-weight air racers. The formula class aerolite racers are a breed apart from the Open Class racers. These planes must be built within very strict parameters and meet a high set of construction and engineering standards to keep the competition as fair as possible. While these are not the fastest race planes ever built, they are some of the most agile planes in existence, and can hairpin turn around tight courses.
