As I get older, my eyes aren’t what they used to be.

What color or colors do you like to fly ?

Yellow or light orange and sometimes a light green.

BrokeDad · 05-10-2018, 04:05 PM

My favorite color is potato

ssschmidt4 · 05-10-2018, 04:11 PM

I like a mostly white canopy with a neon blue windshield, much like some of the Align canopies!

Heliwhisperer · 05-10-2018, 04:14 PM

64 year old fart, neon pink works for me.

Freeskiken · 05-10-2018, 04:23 PM

I really like Red Windshield or Bright Orange. I have ones like this on a few of my Helis.

tvoth3 · 05-10-2018, 05:28 PM

Seems weird but I've found red and white work best for me and my 50+ yo eyes. I'd have thought neon green or orange but this scheme seems better...

Spencerkey · 05-10-2018, 06:14 PM

Neon yellow.

trillian · 05-10-2018, 06:19 PM

I find that when it's bright and sunny the colour almost doesn't matter. But we get a lot of cloudy and dark skies over here and that's when the brighter colours help (contrasted with a dark windscreen).

prairie ville · 05-10-2018, 07:36 PM

And for me a solid black tail pieces seems to help with a bright colored canopy for orientation.

How do you repair the experience mark's ? Send it off for a Re- Wrapp ?

Least when you got a Bleach bottle you could add a few stickers and even sharpie coat it >
Then when you got a lil dent in the fender you just push it out with your thumb .

Yup, definitely my favorite color

rhodesengr · 05-10-2018, 10:27 PM

I am with most of you. The bright colors are best for me. I hated the white/blue stock canopy on my 550X. Almost invisible against clouds. I now have a bright one from Canomod. Red green yellow orange.

jharkin · 05-11-2018, 05:32 AM

My favorite color, and whats easiest to see are not the same.

I love the look of deep red and blue color schemes. I.e. The red Whiplash "stomp" canopy. I also have a plank done up in the red bull aerobatic team blue - looks beautiful on the ground, but almost invisible in the air sometimes. Wont do that again.

Easiest to see for me are yellows and bright neon colors. I have a Trex in a yellow fusuno 'Alpine' scheme and I use that for trying more aggressive new moves because of the better visibility.
