Color Selections?

[Jermo]

I find on the sim that once the heli is a certain distance away I'm unable to tell orientation of there is background items (trees, buildings..etc). With different colors I'm ok until I have different sky color as a background.

What are color ideas to optimize visibility to be able to discern orientation at distance under varying conditions? When I flew planks I painted the top and bottom of the wing differently and had sides different (generally one side was very visable with the other just one color. This gave me all orientation visible. The Heli flies lower than I flew my planes so I've not experienced this before.

No big secret, use bright colors and keep it close enough to see.

Flouresecent colors are good. Contrating colors to where you fly is good (no reds in teh falls in places with leaves turning).

Some form of pointer to indicate one end from the other. Some have done left right colors to help also.
