On built up sailplane wings the Transparent Orange seems to work well especially for the tip panels and tail feathers. I also place a chrome trim stripe on the leading edge of the wing to catch the sun glint during turns, as in thermaling. Many thanks again.

Art,

Thanks for your input as well. You will love the Safety Orange. Anything else, let me know.
