7th - 8th June 2008. A few of us attended the Eurotour F3J contest in Belgium. The weather was not good for the rounds with very low cloud base and visibility. There were about 80 pilots from all over Europe and the flying was difficult in some rounds. Top place UK pilot was Colin Paddon flying his Shadowto 11th place. 9 pilots were chosen for the fly-off, the spacing between these pilots was only 9 points. That is the lowest I have seen on any Eurotour event I have attended and shows how standards are rising even further. Frank Van Melick won the contest with his own design model, is used his own light weight fuselage and tail with an Xperience pro wing. An excellent event and an excellent job done by the organisers.

11th May 2008. The 40th F.A.C.C.T Open was run, John Shaw deserves a medal for running this event over so many years. It was a great day with tricky conditions, most slots were flow out but many pilots found it difficult to make the full 10 mins. Nick Kid won the event flying his cross tail Shadow, this was also Nick's first win and was well deserved.

8th Jan 2008. We can now offer 2.4Ghz friendly models. The Xperience Pro and Shadow are available with this option if required. Other models in the range are also available with this option. NAN model continues to offer new developements to their range to meet the latest standards.

A good start to the season for the Xperience Pro F3J taking 1st place at the Facct Barcs open thermal contest.
The weather was very good with light winds and regular thermals. Forty two competitors made the contest very competitive. Three preliminary rounds were flown, followed by two fifteen minute fly offs. Most of the slots were flown out, making the cut off score for the nine man fly off very high. The Xperience Pro is already proving to be a formidable contest glider.
