Did you know that a French competitor cross trains in three events to get ready for 8way? posted: Apr 15th, 2012 The World Challenge 2012 is history now, while the record breaking leaderboard with its exciting numbers continue to catch the NSL News attention in many different ways.
This year's event was the first time that host Paul Mayer did not set up a Super Sequence in the AAA Class competition draw somewhere in the 10-round meet. It did not keep any teams away from Bodyflight Bedford, and it also did not even keep some of the teams from posting even higher meet averages compared to the World Challenge 2011.
Three of the TOP 10 teams managed to score higher than last year, and the most significant... (more)
Did you know that Hyrrokkin is highly motivated for the 2012 season? posted: Apr 13th, 2012 Round 7 of the World Challenge 2012 did not only get special NSL News attention due to Just4Fun's re-flying session. The NSL News also followed AA Class team Hyrrokkin into the flying chamber to keep an eye on James Woods, former Satori member Katie Woods' little brother. The story on 7 April 2012 included the mention of Hyrrokkin's Round 7.
It was not a happy story at this point in time. Hyrrokkin had the worst round of the meet and lost three points in addition to a few hickups. The 11-pointer on the scoreboard allowed the team in 2nd place, DNOUT from Italy, to catch up with the leader after... (more)
Did you know that the NSL News followed Aerodyne Aerokart for one whole training day? posted: Apr 12th, 2012 The NSL News took a closer look at the situation of NMP-PCH Hayabusa after the recent performances at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2012 and then at the World Challenge 2012 on 10 April 2012. It must have been very encouraging from the Belgian perspective.
The next review in the aftermath of the World Challenge 2012 is the view from the French perspective, and it covers the situation after the same two events. France had once again the biggest foreign delegation at Bodyflight Bedford with a total of 10 teams, all of them competing in the AAA Class, eight in the Open Class and two in... (more)
Did you know that Rotor Out is the old and new Australian 4way champion? posted: Apr 10th, 2012 The Australian Nationals 2012 took place at the Ramblers DZ in Toogoolawah, Queensland, while the rest of the world competed at the World Challenge 2012.
Four teams competed in the Open Class and six additional teams in the Australian Intermediate Class. Rotor Out, the defending AAA Class champion, won with a 17.0 average. Rotor Out came to the national championship with a new lineup after Jens Goennemann stepped down after the World Cup 2011 where the Australian team finished with a 15.9 average in 9th place.
George Attard, a former Black member who placed 2nd behind Rotor Out in 2010, has... (more)
Did you know that NMP-PCH Hayabusa is simply one point faster at the moment? posted: Apr 10th, 2012 Not only Pete Allum was impressed with the NMP-PCH Hayabusa performance at the World Challenge 2012, and there were many good reasons for the great respect that the Belgian team earned once again at Bodyflight Bedford.
Hayabusa had the sole highscores in five of the ten rounds, tied the highscore for a round additional four times and gave away only one single round for a 13-point victory. It was a statement, not only the successful title defense. A closer look at the progression of the Hayabusa attendance at the World Challenge puts even more substance behind this year's victory.

Did you know that Pete Allum reviewed Round 1 and Round 7 of the World Challenge for the NSL News? posted: Apr 9th, 2012 The NSL News follows up on the female 4way competition at the World Challenge 2012. The extended leaderboard now shows the point deductions that each team had throughout the competition.
The German team ISB Air Remscheid had the cleanest start into the meet and was without any penalties and with the lead after three rounds. Round 4 brought the first penalty for the Germans, and they had to give up the top position to Just4Fun at the same time. ISB Air Remscheid did not have any penalties from then on but also never went back to the top spot.
The UK pickup team of former world champions took... (more)
