Skins

Does adding a metallic skin reduce the "ground shadow" the drone creates while flying? I've read all the pros and cons about having a skin and what not but, am curious to see any experiences with editing for shadows.

Do you mean does a skin turn your drone into a vampire that casts no shadow? The answer to that is no.

I meant does it break up the solid lines of the shadow? Not an invisibility cloak.

While I have no personal experience, I don't know how it could. Metallic paint on a car does not alter the shadow it casts.

My man, good looking out.

just make sure it doesn't reduce your ability to watch the drone while flying so you can maintain VLOS. I did neon wraps on my two M1P's.

No... shadow is a shadow regardless of an object’s color
