Based on my experience, you won't like translucent. With an opaque frisbee, you can position the frisbee so it shields the side of your face that faces the sun and fly right up to the edge of that point. With a translucent shield, the difference between light and dark will still effectively blind you from your plane. All of this assumes that you don't intend on flying your plane into the sun which I'd view as a risky experiment at best. The frisbee I'm currently using (original got chewed up by the dog) started off as dark translucent green which I found useless. I made it opaque with spray paint and it's held up for about 8 years or so.

great ideas. Now I need to get to work. Any brand recommendations on tripods? I like translucent to start with. I was out this am sport flying and basically limited my self to the left side of the sun except when I flew low.
