Thank you for the information! I'm new to R/C gliders and having a great time. I built free flight gliders a great many years ago as a teenager which was fun, but this is far better.

I'll give the reflective tape a try first to increase visibility. Got into thermal the other day and it carried my bird up to where it was a bit too high and far out to see well to keep good orientation. Did a tight spiral to loose altitude and bring the bird back into easier view. Just a three channel EP bird for now. Flying with the buzzards could get ya in trouble if you track with them too far.
