The 5th California Cup for F1E class gliders was held successfully on 11 Feb, 2010
near Lost Hills, CA on the largest Holloway Gypsum hill.

SIx entries were received, but muddy conditions caused two to leave before Tuesday.
The contest was postponed until Thursday to allow time for the terrain to dry out somewhat.
Beginning @ 0930, 7 rounds were held for the 4 remaining fliers, ending @1435.
There was little breeze to speak of all day, but still one needed to think and sense the
moment to launch, for better or worse.

The results follow.

Rd: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
max: 180 for all rounds
