Couldn't agree more on visbility -- flame red would work well, dark blue stripes underneath give a good contrast to the yellow and also work well. The pre-painted scheme on the top of the wings also becomes less than clear at a distance in some conditions -- a mate of mine has painted out the Impact and some of the fussier stuff on top of the wing to create a clearer contrast/shape around leading edge line and triangle shape on the inner section. Makes it much easier/quicker to pick up orientation in more difficult visibility conditions.

[I just checked -- he has whited out the section with 'Impact' on it between the blue stripe along the front of the wing and the orange around/at the aileron hinge line. He has also painted out everything inboard of the diagonal blue stripe running from the front of the wing close to the fuz, to the back near the inner edge of the aileron -- gives much better resolution in light when you struggle to see the colurs]

The other approach to the rubbing areas near the root ribs is to put some clear book covering on the fuz just a bit bigger than the wing root -- provided there aren't any sharp, pointy bits sticking out the root of the wing this stopped the rubbing on mine very quickly (and I gather is what the IMAC guys do on C-ARF models -- as that is who put me on to it!).

Great to hear a few more of these flying, and the work on fuz reinforcement etc. paying off.
