CTD,

Go with dayglo orange, I stick it all over the canopy when I'm flying on really dull or foggy days!



Its the self adhesive stuff they put on emergency vehicles, I got tons of it so if you want soem PM me your address.

That is genius, looks Damn cool too!!

Bright orange with liberal amounts of fluorescent yellow. Red leds facing to the rear have saved me more than once when its been high up.

I have to go with Rachels favourite here. I have some fluro pink fuel tube stuck on the aerials of my sat. It shows up really well and its especially obvious on grey cloudy days. Its so good I have thought about putting a few strips down the centre line of my canopy to help me determine how much roll I've got on the heli. I also find fluro orange works well. However in both instances I think having these bright colours against a darker backing colour is the best option.

On my rex 450 I used to have the red cano with yellow lightening streaks on that. I found this was the most visible canopy I have had. I have read somewhere that the human eye can detect red easier than other colours due to the eye having more cones that detect red. I dont know how true this is - I would have to do a bit of research to confirm but it does tally with my own experiences.

Yellow for me, see my avatar But think white would also be a good choice.

PINK PINK PINK

I find the special pink flouresent I use works well in all light conditions and at quite a distance to.

One of our club members has a 600 rex with a yellow flurocent canopy that works well too.

I also paint the fin which helps a little.
