comment on white sailplanes: the europeans have been using red paint for
years, BY LAW. the only reason i have heard for not doing so is to avoid
leaching during contests (lesser pilots following the good ones) by
being less visible. but please remember that glass structures also have
a (very slow) deterioration due to ultraviolet radiation, that's why
they are white to begin with!
