Default 85" Cap-Help Me Decide On Color

I'm going to be calling Tom and placing an order for bunny #2 tomorrow. Even with all the choices out there, it is hard to pass up WH considering how well my Edge flew and how well it held together with all the flight time I had on it. I can't however make up my mind on whether I want the red or yellow (that is, of course, if he has both in stock). I like both color schemes.....but I'm not to sure on which will have the best visability in the air. I've had all red planes before, and they were very hard to see. I also know that the colors in my Edge were extremely visable. I'm not too sure on the yellow though. Any input would be great


Cap

Personally I have a problem with yellow at any distance. It gets even worse when a plane is completely yellow. Reds and whites always seem to stand out better for me for some reason.

I have the 85" CAP in yellow. It is SOOOOOO pretty! The bottom has broad red and white stripes and the contrast is great. I haven't had any trouble seeing it in the air yet. That smoked canopy against the yellow is like one of the coolest looks ever.

Yeah, everybody's color vision is different. I see yellow better than any other color. Most of the planes I have built over the years have been predominantly yellow, or have at least some yellow on them. I have a lot of trouble with red at a distance. Even white can be a real problem, especially on a very hazy or overcast day. Anybody that lives in the South is well acquainted with hazy days.

obviously some planes are easier to see than others, but the scemes are well done and very different from top to bottom. if you have a hard time seeing your plane you should be flying closer to yourself. Get the color you like the best
