Status: offline 		Have you covered before? If yes what

If no skip the transparent and go solid. Covering takes practice the transparent will highlight the mistakes not seen in solid.  Minnflyer made a great how-to on covering

Status: offline 		Transparent coverings are cool and I like them, but they can cause severe disorientation up In the air and out at a distance. So be careful. Maybe you should observe some actual examples that are flying and then decide if transparent covering is for your project.

After losing orientation several times, one resulting in a minor crash, I recovered the bottom of the wings with solid.

Status: offline 		I have used red transparent a lot and never had any problems re orientation - but this is on models minimum 72" span.
Red is one of the best for standing out and showing its colour way up particularly against a blue sky
What is model you are building?
