The problem is a matter of contrast. Even a white plane can look black against the sky. I'd say that the average display cannot reproduce the contrast range
enough to really represent the problem. At times, things can be so bad that you end up moving the controls slightly just to see what relative orientation? is between you and the plane.
There are some yellow/orange tinted sunglasses that seem to help.
Well yes but no, it will show the plane as smaller but in actuality it is always as close as the screen.
Telemaster is a fine plane very similar to the LT 40s perhaps slower if built light. I have taught a couple new guys on Balsa USA sticks they ARE great planes but a bit quicker than the LT40 types.
