Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Trikes in the Pattern

Well, here is another suggestion. Why can't GA aircraft have actual visibility, you know where you can look outside of the can? :).

But seriously you will find almost all trike wings on top will have a white or whitish sail and the reason is UV.

Those trikes are hard to see. They both had radios and were communicating well, but they blended in with the ground and were very hard to see in the ground clutter. Just a suggestion: Why can't the tops of the "canopies" (airfoils?) be a bright color like international orange. Also, bright strobes on all the time might help.
