There is a very good article on how to make your plane visible in the articles section. I don't have acces to it just now, or I would give you the link. The basic point is that you will be able to distinguish pattern vs color at reduced visibility. Make sure the patters are bold and quite different top to bottom.

I found that article while searching for visibility, I printed the whole thing off including the diagrams, I think the escapade may get a little color treatment, I knew right away I was in trouble, and I think your right, It could have been flourescent pink........... I think I still would have lost it! just really hard to describe how it could be a sunny day, but the airplane was just impossible to see. Guess that was a learning experience for this new pilot, Now my buddy (who also could not see it) calls me "IFR" everytime he sees me now, jeeze, crash one little plane and they never let you forget it! He said he could actually hear the pilot screaming! I think he bailed tho, we did not find anything that looked like a pilot,
Any chance of a link to the article? I have two planes to cover right now and the Black/Orange scheme that I had done on my Eagle 2 didn't work out as well as I had hoped.
Thanks.
