Hey Bob,
chrome is almost a stealth "color". I was at a contest in 1973 and a fellow showed up with an Eyeball. All chrome with a little red trim. In the air it appeared to be almost impossible to see accurately. That was the pilots objective: if you can't see the mistakes you can't downgrade... The judges were not amused and scored accordingly. Never saw the chrome Eyeball again

Guys - need some creative ideas....I have two Monologs, the 70 and 110, and both are really excellent fliers. Great power setups, nice control sensitivity and balance, making me feel like I can do this precision flying thing again (even after all these years). Had cataract surgery LAST summer, distance is 20-20, no glaucoma interference, depth perception okay. ( I know these things because they have been well-tested with results documented.)
Here's the issue - with both Monologs, they are absolute STEALTH mode in turnarounds, and wings level fly by at distance they simply become near invisible. I'm believing that it's either color-scheme, contrast, or a combination of both. The question is - obviously recovering, or adding color swatches, but I need some ideas on *what* to try....
I'm sure I'm not the first sexagenarian to have to face this issue in pattern, and many of the readers here are easily elders....I need some ideas...
