I built one and finished it in silver for a more jet like appearance and it was the biggest mistake ever. After 60-70 yards it would almost disappear into the background like it had Romulan cloaking device.
This spring I bought a roll of Safety orange from a table at Toledo for $12.00. I tore off all the old covering and re-covered it in white with safety orange on the wings ,tail and cowl in style of a military trainer. Now when I fly it I can actually see it past 80-90 yards.
Mine is powered by a Scorpion 3026-10 and 4S. I don't fly it with a 5S anymore as my comfort zone gets too low.

I just finished my Kougar. It is a Kougar Mark III, It is based off the Sig Kougar Mark II, 3D printed, Electric, Hatch, plug-in wings and retracts. I will paint it up after it flies today.

It is about a 200 hour print. It weight 7.16 lbs flight weight. By doing the plug in wings, I was able to save weight and free up some space in the nose for the nosewheel retract. The space is tight, All I can fit in the nose is a 5s 4000mah battery. It is powered with a 4250 800kv powered 60 amp ESC and 11X8 prop. I am getting 950 watts of power and pulling 50 amps.
