Hellcat leading edge, paint/visibility
Good afternoon,
I am sure my question will apply to many other birds out there.
I am and have always had difficulty seeing my plane on final approach. Particularly my Hellcat, once it !QUOT!profiles!QUOT! it literally disappears. I am forced to dip the wings to keep the plane in sight.
The main reason I have this problem is the background of mountains at my field that really give no contrast.
My question is: what can I put on the leading edge that would still look scale?
I realize that with the Army Air corps and German and British planes often had a yellow leading edge but I am not aware of any pacific theater planes with any distinct colors on the leading edge.
the hellcat has no paint-able spinner so that wont work.
Any ideas are appreciated.
ps... I tried some blinking lights on the wing tips from RAM and it made absolutely no difference.
Help me please.
