2007 F1E California World Cup

The 2nd annual California Cup for F1E class gliders was successfully

flown on 13 Feb, 2007 at Holloway Gypsum's largest mesa.

It is located about 1 mile SE of our Lost Hills, CA flying field.

Eight rounds were flown, beginning at 8:30, ending at 14:30.

Breezes were moderate, with coolish temps for the 7 entrants.

It was unanimously voted to cancel the lunch break.

This was to accommodate the Isaacson F1E fliers, who had to stop

their Monday contest after two rounds were flown. 

They completed their flying beginning at 15:00, after our awards ceremony.

Again, I want to congratulate the top placers & all fliers for their good efforts.

Here's hoping more fliers will attend in future.

It was good fun and suspenseful, as the lead kept changing right to the end!
