If anyone can be considered a problem-child in the Aerolight circuit, it's Team Dynamo. Primarily sponsored by Dynamo Power Systems, this team has a bad habit of pushing the limit and bending the rules. If you open up the Aerolight Racing League's regulation book, and stab your finger onto any given page, you have about a 40% chance of landing on a rule that was put in place due to Team Dynamo's antics.

Most notably they are the cause for the strict weight restrictions on Aerolight racers. In the first two years of the Circuit, they brought a plane that would be considered a behemoth by modern race standards. While it performed and maneuvered surprisingly well, the bulk of the plane simply couldn't hold up to the constant forces that were put on it on the tight race courses. In the end, it failed due to structural stress. When the plane's air-frame twisted, it sent the craft into an uncontrolled spiral, leading it away from the course, and eventually to a crash landing in a nearby farm-house.

Featured here is Dynamo's latest racer, Lightning. Still larger than other racers, it falls well below the maximum weight restriction. The team chose a more traditional wing arrangement for their aircraft, and it's balanced well enough to cut just about any turn in the circuit, even at full thrust. They're hopeful this year, as their biggest competition will be from the Navy sponsored plane, Bluejay, and the champion team's plane Mean Streak.
