Default Great Planes Producing Discontinued Kits

I noticed Great Planes is (or will be) producing kits that have been discontinued for some time. The Super Sportster 60, The Super Sportster MkII, the Ultrasport and the Patriot. There may be more; I just saw these on the Tower Hobbies web site.

Same here - I wonder what the chances are...
I built one for a friend of mine, he gave me a Direct Connection F-18 in return. I wonder if I should have asked for a Phantom kit instead?

Now to just get the money set aside for that SS 60. It could take me some time to ever get to building it but at least I would have one for that sometime down the road projects. One never knows when I could have an accident with one of my other 60 size planes. Nice VID Ken.
