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

I think that trikes are easier to spot that the R-22 copters that fly a right hand pattern at KHIB all day long for a flight school. I have a hard time seeing them when they tell you exactly where they are.

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.
