when i started, i was always very careful about my color arrangements and making sure i could keep orientation in the sky. now that i have almost 2yrs under the belt and have flown more, built more, crashed more, repaired more than i can count, i really don't care anymore. you reach a point, or at least hopefully you do, that you have confidence in your skills. you know which way the plane is going, because that's where you told it to go. you know that if i do this, then the plane will be here, then i do this and the plane will be here. you almost don't even need to see it. this is especially true with high speed planes. when going 100+ mph you don't have time to question, you just tell the plane what to do, and it does it because it has no choice!
when you get there then you can stop worrying and start making you planes look like they should. my latest project, the bottom is the lite blue with just a few small decals. can't wait to fly it!

I agree - and just when I think my flying skilz are at that point I seem to execute another flawless figure 9 and have to go back to red wing tips
Guess I'm a slow learner
