Ron - interesting there about reflections and glare.... I have a small epower bird that I put strips of spectral tape (the prismatic reflective stuff) on the tops of both wings, about 1 1/2" strips spanwise at the high point of the airfoil, then another about 2/3rds back....the focus of the glint spots helps with perspective, but doesn't seem to blind.
You made me recall the very WORST airplane I ever owned (for visibility) and that was a chrome-covered P-51....Only invasion stripes and tail surface checkerboard permitted me to see that one. I hated flying it....too scary.
