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)
Did you know that strategy has become a serious part of the game? posted: Apr 7th, 2012 The re-judging of Aerodyne Aerokart's Round 1, which ended up with only two point deductions instead of seven, continues to stir up emotions and discussions at the World Challenge 2012. It is no surprise that the emotions are now on the other side. Arizona Airspeed's Center Inside Niklas Hemlin commented very briefly: "Bulls...."
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)
Did you know that Aerodyne Aerokart won back five points of Round 1? posted: Apr 7th, 2012 Saturday morning at the World Challenge 2012 began with breaking news, which NSL News anchor Joey Jones explained before it was time for Round 1. He said that the judges took a second look at Round 1 of Aerodyne Aerokart, the French national 4way team.
The NSL News mentioned earlier that it was a devastating start into the competition for France, caused by a total of seven point deductions, with up to 11 marked infringements on the scoresheet. The French delegation and other teams and competitors were shocked since the French performance did not show anything extraordinary.

Did you know that the Round 5 videos come with new NSL Talk and Black Majick? posted: Apr 7th, 2012 The latest NSL Reality TV clip shows the teams in Round 5. NMP-PCH Hayabusa completed once again the highest number of points within working time and left two of them in the judging room. The 28-pointer was still good enough to tie the highscore for the round with Aerodyne Aerokart and Arizona Airspeed who lost one point. The French national team is still working on the impressive comeback while Airspeed just cannot get any closer to the Belgium team so far.
Hyrrokkin is still holding on to the first place in the AA Class. The lineup includes James Wood in the Point slot who is Katie Woods'... (more)
Did you know that the Fun Flag has been flying since the completion of Round 4? posted: Apr 6th, 2012 The sequence of Round 3 was a slower one with three blocks, and not much would change on the top of the leaderboard. NMP-PCH Hayabusa completed once again the highest number of points within working time, as the Belgian team has done in each round so far, and also posted the highest score after judging for the third consecutive time. However, Belgium lost one point, Arizona Airspeed two, and Aerodyne Aerokart now had two clean rounds without a point deduction.
It is quite amazing how it is possible that the French team was so "out of control" in Round 1 and could then recover so quickly without... (more)
Did you know that it's a horse race in the female 4way category? posted: Apr 6th, 2012 There are quite a few interesting moves going on at the World Challenge 2012. The Blue Rebels Family from Greece came out of the Rookie Class starting block like a race horse and could not follow up. UK team Fiasco is the new leader. Polaris members Ellen Burchardt (Ellen's Flyboys) and Sissel Maria Finnseth (Aviatrix) also have an additional race in this competition class with their second lineups. Ellen is winning so far...
UK team Raykipo, last year's winner of the Rookie Class competition, is now in 1st place on the A Class leaderboard. Paul Mayer and his Black Majick backflyers, including... (more)
