It is anything but trivial as an observational exercise to estimate the nature of rolling performance putting aside how high the birds maybe flying and what is the sky condition. There will be more of a glare in the observer’s eye when the rollers are viewed against cloudy or overcast skies than against a blue sky. For this reason, the color and pattern of a bird will affect how easily it is seen and the perception of its size in the air. So, under many conditions a black self would appear larger than an equal sized black white-flight; both might appear different in size than, let’s say, a red check w/f. Those different apparent sizes can easily affect the observer's estimation of the tightness, style and depth of the roll. For this reason, is it wise to have a complete kit of dark color self kit and a mixed color W/F/T kit for competition purposes and fly the proper kit for the proper sky conditions to enhance scoring? How can a competitor harness this logical observation to maximize affectiveness during competition? And how does it play in your breeding program to make allot of them to fill both kits?
