I got dropped off at 2,000 feet with a scale ship, all white, on a dark blue sky day... I had trouble seeing it immediately. Took about 2 minutes to (and it hurts to type this) bleed off altitude to get it where I was seeing it again.
I've since gotten 'scrip sunglasses in a reddish brown to help with contrast, but it's the first time I felt like I was over 40 flying... Just glad I had spotters to keep me from getting in trouble, hope that I'm better next time out. Bill's right, it's too stressful to not see a ship, especially something that big. Who's bright idea was it to make scale ships white, any way? Makes me wish I'd installed strobes on the underside (or found clouds to get under quicker)... Hats of to you all that can see as far as I'm reading here, it's sure not me. B. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
