We are aware that there have been complaints about the color match of the Skybolt cowling and complaints about the checkerboard covering on the bottom of the wings. The cowlings are being checked to see what the difficulty happens to be, and what solution we can present. The product manager responsible is currently overseas talking to our ARF factory and will present this to them.
The checkered covering on the bottom of the wings is not MonoKote, but a different material specified because such a pattern is not available in MonoKote. The rest of the airplane is most certainly MonoKote.
At this time, we need your patience while we determine what is happening with the factories, and to resolve any issues that may exist. We apologize for any inconvenience to modelers and will stand behind our products, just as we always do. If anyone has a concern or is displeased with the covering on their model, they should contact Product Support- (217) 398-8970 - 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time M-F. You can also return to us any item you believe to be defective in parts and workmanship of the original manufacture. Here's how:
