Did you know that NSL Reality TV features Just4Fun's Round 7? posted: Apr 8th, 2012 The scores of the female 4way competition at the World Challenge 2012 were the last ones that were posted yesterday. Just4Fun won by two points after a great last round by Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders.
The NSL News mentioned earlier that another controversial issue occured when the UK team was granted a re-flying session in Round 7. It went by almost unnoticed since the flying session was squeezed in out of the usual flying order of the teams. The Just4Fun score for Round 7 went from 21 to 24, wich was brought to the NSL News attention later on.

Did you know that Round 10 completed NMP-PCH Hayabusa's successful title defense? posted: Apr 7th, 2012 The sequence of Round 10 was a slot switcher for the rear piece this time. Block 12 (Bundy - Bundy) would switch the piece partners of the front pieces in their slots, and Block 5 (Opal - Opal) would switch them back later on.

Did you know that NMP-PCH Hayabusa keeps adding distance to France and USA? posted: Apr 7th, 2012 The slow sequence of Round 8 did not change much on the AAA Class leaderboards. However, it was once again impressive to see that NMP-PCH Hayabusa scored two more points than Aerodyne Aerokart and Arizona Airspeed. France, with the highest score after Hayabusa, was in the inter of Block 4 (Monopod - Monopod) on the last page, while the quick Belgians completed the second Monopod and built the first Snowflake of Block 1.

Did you know that the next rules issue questions a reflying session? posted: Apr 7th, 2012 Incidents continue at the World Challenge 2012. The discussion of the French 7-point damage and the re-judging situation had hardly settled when the next controversial situation occured.
One of the three British 4way teams in the female category, Just4Fun, had some equipment troubles in Round 7. A helmet's viser opened up before the working time was over. The team was asking for a new flying session and got it. The 21-pointer turned into a 24-pointer on the scoreboard, and the UK team maintained the 3-point lead before going into Round 8. The first 21-pointer would have tied Just4Fun and Aerodyne... (more)

Joey Jones brought more light to Airspeed's perspective. He commented from his own experiences as a 4way world champion that the French performance in the following rounds after the debacle in Round 1 changed their approach. He said that he would just "go for it as... (more)
