you need to find what collor your eyes see best with and stay with that color and pattern. May get old hat, but in a gaggle of planes, a familar color and pattern helps your ability to recognize. For most it's yellow with black. For me, it's red and white. The life span of most racilng planes is short anyway. If you have not flown someone else plane into the ground, you will eventially will. For years I laughed at other guys doing just that. A few months ago I put my t-34 into the ground while flying someone elses airplane after a quick glance to the back. The plane happened to be identical. Now I recover the wing top with my color and pattern. Guys think I am sandilng down the wing which is a thought.
