On a somewhat related note, I know some individuals have used a series of variying width white stripes on the lower surface of the wing as a means of estimating altitude. Obviously this method does not work for very high altitudes when the aircraft is at the very limits of one's vision.
For us mere mortals however, it might prove useful. Does anyone have a reference, guide or link to information how one might go about utilizing these stripes as an aid? Specifically I am looking for suggested widths and placement of the stripes. Thanks very much. Dan RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
