Team #99 EDGE 540 Race Plane Update from Mike Goulian Airshows
Weight, weight, weight, power, power, power. That's what the #99 Team has been up to this winter. It's not a secret that our plane was still one of the heaviest on the race circuit and that just had to change. So for the last month or so, we have been trying to get rid of every last extra ounce in the plane to bring it down to the minimum race weight. We are very close to reaching that goal, and can't wait to try out our lightweight & powerful plane.
Last year, we started out with a heavy plane and no horsepower and finally ended up with a heavy plane and a lot of Horsepower. With a better engine and even lighter weight, we should be even more competitive than at the end of last season. Speaking of horsepower, Lycoming and their Thunderbolt engine program, in coordination with Tim Hess, have been working on a very powerful engine for next year. We think that we have found ...
