<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everyone's ability to see certain images or color
combinations is different. Watch at a contest and see whose airplane is
most visible. This is easier since your not concentrating so hard on the
flying. As others stated a good contrasting colors of light and
dark.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The three levels of light(early morn or
direct, late evening and overcast) the colors seem to change for me.
I found using the NYX Sport glass that I got from Peidmont really help.
There are three different lens for varying light conditions and they really
helped me especially in overcast where everything seems to gray scale on
me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used a paint program that you could plug in
different colors then turn it to gray scale to see if or how much the colors
blended into each other. A real help for me.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm
finishing a Temptation and have some scheme layouts made up, but am
re-thinking the issue. Is there anyone out there who has any knowledge
in their data banks which would indicate what colors and or scheme breakout
patterns which are more readily visible to the human eye against any given
background color? (blue or gray sky)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think one of the biggest problems I have as a 30
year sport pilot converting to pattern is the ability to fly the airplane far
enough out to remain in the box, yet still be able to see the airplane well
enough to determine wings level or bank angle. (Goes against everything in me
to fly 150 yards out!!!) </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help you can provide is appreciated....</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks, </FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chris
