Did you know that Airbus 4-way seem to be ready for the next step? posted: Sep 17th, 2025 The last NSL News update from Germany's national outdoor championship came after the one round that the two 8-way teams completed on September 12th, the Thursday last week that turned out to be the last day of the competition. Meet director, teams and competitors had decided to terminate the event early due to the weather conditions.
The weather did not improve much in Central Europe, as the 4-way teams at the BENELUX Championship completed exactly the same number of rounds in Naumur, beginning on the day when the German nationals were terminated. Only the Dutch 8-way team Tetris finished with... (more)
Did you know that Skywalkers Most still scored on Indoor Cloud League leaderboards this summer? posted: Sep 15th, 2025 The NSL News update on September 3rd covered the successful visit of the Skywalkers Most at the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025, where they finished with a new team record outdoor average in 6th place, and in 3rd place on the European leaderboard. The 19.6 average would have tied Echochamber's unofficial amateur winning average at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2024.
The Skywalkers outscored Sweden's Echochamber and Norway's Agera 4-way Open Class teams at the end of a very exciting 10-round battle and finished in 4th place of the participating countries' national teams. They were also very closely... (more)
Did you know that Nephtys and former XPG4 members had modified rematches? posted: Sep 14th, 2025 The NSL News aftermath of the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2025 continues while the next event brings some of the teams back together who competed at Skydive Teuge in the Netherlands not long ago. The BENELUX Championship is the open Belgian national outdoor championship that includes the Dutch championship. NMP PCH HayaBusa (BE), Ayro (BE), Out Of The Blue (NL) and Funky Falcon (NL) are back in 4-way action after recently posting scores at the outdoor world cup.
OOTB had denied Ayro the last Top 10 position at the world cup by three point (175 - 172). It will be very difficult for OOTB to stay ahead... (more)
Did you know that Operation Adler qualified for Eloy 2026 with one competition round? posted: Sep 12th, 2025 The Germany Outdoor Nationals 2025 were over much earlier than expected, while the outcome was everything but a surprise. Airbus 4-way Illertissen Oceanside had just as little competition in the 4-way AAA Class as Operation Adler had in 8-way. Both teams will represent Germany at the next outdoor world championship in Eloy 2026.
There was still an unusual surprise at the event, which was related to the weather situation. Meet director Helmut Bastuck and the 4-way teams together were already struggling with the jumping conditions in the first two days of the competition (Tuesday/Wednesday). However,... (more)
Did you know that the Netunos had to withdraw in the last minute? posted: Sep 11th, 2025 The weather is still the main problem at the German Outdoor Nationals 2025. The well oiled event machine at the Skyfactory in Stadtlohn has already shown what it can accomplish at the times when the jump planes could be sent up for competition rounds. Unfortunately, the weather conditions once again did not allow any activity on Thursday morning, and the backlog keeps piling up. The two 8-way teams have arrived and know their ten competition rounds, and the double duties will not make it any easier for meet director Helmut Bastuck to coordinate the German miniature mondial.
The NSL News has... (more)
