I have limited access actually seeing a lot of available Ultracote/Monokote colors. Could some of you with a lot of covering experience tell me what you consider the wildest, high-visibility single or two-color combinations you have found. I have no color prejudices.

The decision is really going to be based on what colors you see better. I prefer brighter colors like Fire Red on the top with a darker color on the bottom for contrast. Also the neon colors can be used to make them really stand out and you can use them against white to make them really brilliant. The Ultra Stick .60 picture I attached is covered with flourescent orange, white and gray and the underside that you cannot see is Corsair Blue with some yellow trim. This certainly is not "wild and brightest" but I can clearly see this plane in any sky condition. The contrasting color is what does it for me.

I like transparents on open structures, as the sun shining through the film makes the plane highly visible.

Did my latest LT-25 with Monokote transparent red on the open areas and yellow on the rest. I think I'll be able to see that!

I use the flourescent colours. I have found that for me flourescent yellow is the easiest to see. I usually pick a colour I like and use a complimentary colour in a flourescent. An example is my Midstar 40. The body and bottom of the wing is white. The top of the wings and the tail feathers are flourescent pink. The movable surfaces are black. The underside of the wing has flourescent pink stripes on it. And there is a black arrow shaped line behind the cockpit and wheel pants in black. It is easy to see. Covering the tips of the wings, stab and rudder in a flourescent is good too. I also put some flourescent orange stripe right down the leading edge to help landing. Just let your imagination go to town. I hope this helps.

Typical guidelines:

Ligher colour on top, darker on the bottom.

Steer away form Black, as it quickly becomes a dot.
White is the same.. but a little more visible. Again, becomes a dot (no orinetation) also gets lost on cloudy / overcast days. Although, white as a base color with a lot of 'accent' colour seems to be a major choice...

Sky blue gets lost on clear days (hence why it's called 'sky blue')

Red & Yellow would be my choice. bright, even on teh dimmest days...

My Giant Sportster is medium blue and bright Yellow. It really stands out in the air.

Yellow seems brightest, maybe because it reflects the sun's color.

My brothers sportster is Red and Yellow, real easy to see.

My first trainer was white and light blue.......bad choice Looked nice on the ground.

I've found that yellow is the easiest color to see. Place a contrasting color on the top or bottom to help distinguish attitude. Yellow seems best in all kind of light. Light blue is the worst in my opinion.

I've found that the neon colors are the best for all around flying models but not for warbirds. My voyager twin has neon green for the bottom and dark blue on the top accented with neon green. Realy shows up during our newyears eve night flight also had spot lites on the ground on the planes too.
