- Some years ago, Top Flite had the original Monokote, and improved it,
- renaming it Super Monokote. This remained the same for at least 10
- years. Last year, Great Planes bought out Top Flite, and in the process
- has been revamping several lines of products, including the covering.
-
- When they created a new look for the advertisements and the insert
- for the package, I believe they took off the 'Super' to be in line
- with what most people know it as - "MonoKote". Would someone out
- there actualy like to venture a call to Great Planes and check this
- out??? :-)
