There is so much knowledge, experience and opinions in this group, I really hope I can get a consensus on a serious question. What can I do to the top wing (or anywhere) to make me more visible? I used to think other pilots could not see me because I was not talking or listening to a radio. Well, I've solved that problem and now I talk like a 12 hour pilot at a flight school. Unfortunately, that didn't keep me from almost making national new last week, when after a single transmission of "I'm on a high speed downwind" I was 500 feet from being consumed by a 208 Caravan (when WE turned base) the pilot admitted he heard all my transmission around the pattern, but stated he could not see me! A maverick dive and turn saved that day but I now fully realize I have to try to do something to hopefully improve the chances of me being seen. So, what decal design/color and placement do you folks think might make it "a little" easier to see me? Or is 16 feet wide and 13 feet long just a safety burden I'll have to live with.
