That candy apple red is GORGEOUS (I have a scrap of it right here LOL) I mean it looks like it's 3 feet deep and soaking wet. You guys should have seen it when we finally polished it out about 15 minutes before it died.....

But, that plane definitely taught me a lesson in contrast and visibility. All bright colors and that's not good; all dark colors and that's not good either. A nice combination of both with some large breaks seems to be the most visible. I don't think the actual colors themselves matter as much; it mostly turns black and white over the poles anyway (especially in overcast conditions). Now Dean's new 2.2 is pretty darned trick....that is one that needs to be seen in person as pictures will never do that plane justice.

if you want to see the best example of "visible", look at Arch's orange VF3....that one you can see at midnight!

The whole color vs contrast issue has me scratching my head....
