So I am starting to look into skins for my MA2, but was wondering a few things.

One, I've read countless times that white is a deterrent to birds... Anybody wanna chime in on that?

Two, I've seen "Scare Tape" for birds that's basically just chrome tape with patterns in it to reflect the light in more prisms than just a block of chrome. Anybody have any experience with this stuff?

Three, what about something like gold or silver leafing, would it come off at speed?

Thanks for the input!



p.s. As you can see, I am most worried about a bird strike. I've gotten over my anxiety when flying over water, but when a bird shows up, I immediately start shaking and fly very close to me until they have passed. If they stay, I leave.
 
I seem to remember a thread on this somewhere back. If I remember correctly, they seem to stay away from shiny reflecting things.???

I was hoping to revive the subject, sort of... I wanted some updates with real world experience.

The gold and silver leafing idea is new as far as I know though.
