be visible

Another unusual requirement for the upcoming world championships are the "high visibility" markings on the glider. I requested some more specific information from the organizers and this is what I received. As of today our glider is totally unacceptable:


This issue has been discussed over and over again and even some research has proven that these markings are of no added increased visibility value whatsoever. Once you are able to spot the markings you've already spotted the glider. Spotting something against the ground you usually see the movement first and a glider with the sky or cloud in the background seems black anyways (no way you can pick the color first). So it's very different again and we have to get some stickers organized. Hopefully they will leave no marks once we take them off after 14 days of comp.
