or colors are best for other people to see a Legacy?
Kevin,
Hah!
For a really small head-on profile, consider this - 2 Lancair 300 series
airplanes in radio contact approaching a meeting place (over water tower xxx)
from opposite directions at a closing rate of almost 400 Kts didn't see each
other until a quarter mile apart (we were at slightly different altitudes and
different sides of the tower for safety reasons). Somewhat like a pass
scene
out of Top Gun.
Or
A flight of 2 Lancair 300 series aircraft depart an airport with one
starting the takeoff roll as the other's wheel leave the ground (again about
a
quarter mile separation) with a ninety degree turn planned for the join up.
Until
the lead rolls into the turn, visual capture is intermittant.
Anyway, try Day-Glo Orange or Lime-Yellow, pulsating lights and make sure to
equip your aircraft with a traffic alerter to avoid the larger, slower
bogeys.
An auto traffic safety group found white to be the most visible "color".
Don't think that primer gray can be seen by anyone. If you can see the trim
on a bird in flight, you are too close. Also, it is easier to see an
aircraft
above you than one down in the ground clutter.
