Topflite is owned by Great Planes, which is owned by Hobbico? Topflite is the originator of the product, some 40+ years ago. Today, few Ameriocan companies actually make anything! We shuffle papers, talk trash and handle the money. Sorry, can't really help you. I would guess this might be a difficult question to get answers too, unless you can talk to the actual people who make the product, nobody will answer up, as it's not in their best interests to say.

Four months since the last post, you had to have gone back a ways to find this topic thread!
