Part of the reason...

I cover the bottom in something dark and put accent stripes on it to make it easier to see. High contrast colors are easier to see.

I think transparent colors are just to show off.

I'd start out with a 10X5 or even 10X3.8 sf prop. You will want thrust, not top speed. At 1100kv, that should be about the range your looking at. What are the motor specs and ratings?
