Default RE: Decals/help with figuring out if upside down

Jigeye : Bubbagates has a good answer as to how to fix your problem, NOW I'm going to confuse the issue.

I have never been able to figure out WHY people always want to put designs on the bottom of their wings. Some are good and for people that fly real close all the time they can help but most new people don't fly in close and seldom see the bottom. In fact they usually fly in the next county.

Think about this : 80 + % of your flying is done so you look at the top of the wing and if you put your designs on the top when you turn TOWARD your self the top will flash at you as if to say HI here I come. Now if you turn AWAY from your self the bottom of the wing turns DARK as if to say I'm going away. ( DOOM )

Think about it and go out to your field and just watch some of the planes and see if the bottom doesn't turn dark when turning away, and the top sort of flash at you when turing toward yourself. It doesn't really mater what way you do it but the way you fly may have something to do with how you design yours.

If you look at most of the planes on the market, they put their designs on TOP. Sorry to confuse the issue but I just think it's something to think about. ENJOY !!! RED
