Yes I know - I was just giving the obvious response to the thread title. Here would be the next obvious responses:
(1) Make the wings thicker - they're a right b*gg*r to see head on.
(2) Teach them how to fly straight and level - once you have acquired a glider, you look away for a couple of seconds, and you look back, and you can't find it, because it's not where it should be, a couple of seconds further along a steady trajectory.
(3) Get them to slow down.
Once Upon A Time I had spotted some gliders, so was aware that they were around, but when I looked back they'd turned towards me, and one of them went, oh, maybe a hundred feet above me and the other maybe a hundred feet below, both bloody fast. I formed the opinion that they both had me in sight and had decided to take the piss ... in which case there was no danger of collision and nothing to worry about.
