Yup, definitely, though in a PA28 the roll response is so soggy that the other a/c is OOS before I've managed a couple. I don't do it with non-flying pax on board though, I think 'twould be most upsetting!

Re. visibility, I'm not sure bright orange is best. I think the RAF have proven that black is the highest vis paint scheme for an a/c, makes the silhouette even more conspicuous - their training fleet is now black with highlight flashes.

However, I think there's an issue about absorbing heat radiation for a/c that stand around outdoors like ours tend to, so white is still the choice, specially for plastic a/c

Cheers,
