Something opposite. Preferably dark colors and yes differrent
tips/midsection there too. My comment on the Sharon was only about bottoms.
A green plane against a forrest will in some conditions almost dissapear.
This might be important in some fields coming in for landing low...
Flying F3B in 150km/h turning fast on A-base just 20m in front of you with a
treeline in the back might be easier if you have a scheme you know well.
Especially if you do something wrong and have to do a correction.
But true. On far distance most colors look black. Thats why I dont have any
problem with zebra. But I will not choose green/red zebra next time. Rather
white/red as the blur coming past me or the treeline formes a better color
for "my" eyes..

Jo and others...
I don't fly my plane upside down...why should it really matter what the
top
looks like? I think the bottom is most important. I've seen neon
green/orange looking quite black from a 1/4 mile away trying to get back
to
make the landing. There just isn't enough surface area for my tired eyes
to
make out colors...especially profile views. What color Jo are those Czech
pilots using on the bottom of their wings?

Order an Pike Zebra or Lightning scheme and you will get that
"eye-problem"
;-)
Well I have no problem with it...

important.Actually you will see most Czech pilots fly two very different
