I spray painted a Super Cub with Neon Orange, on the bottom wing. No problem seeing it. Don't know if that would work very well with a Mono. type plane though. If it would work you can for sure tell wich way is up. Maybe try keeping it not so low your afraid of mistakes but closer to you. Make your turns shorter and just generally keep it closer to your line of sight. I know some of mine glow and elec. I have trouble with after they get so far from me.
