FWIW, I find that using two bright contrasting colors at the tips really helps to see the HLG's orientation when far away and/or with a cluttered background. I use fluorescent red or magenta on the left tip, and fluorescent blue or green on the right tip, both top and bottom. Even when I can't make out the outlines, I can still see the tips as two colored "dots". - Mark RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
