that forum had 143 post's before the moderator locked the forum. i went to towers site and checked their ads for gp arfs. yes, some are still being advertised as monokote. that was the biggest complaint on that forum was gp arfs being advertised as monokote but were not. the skybolt and the rv4 were two of the planes that people were complaining about. one guy posted pictures of his gp arf and the trim was coming off leaving the pigment on the base covering that was not monokote either, one person was talking about a lawsuit for false advertising. ...........i noticed the venus 40 is still advertised as monokote but my buddy's new one was not. 2 1/2 year's ago i bought a tower kaos which was advertised covered in monokote. it was not monokote . the covering on the fuse literaly just fell off and i went to recover it and monokote colors did not match and the covering was much thinner than monokote. no one at tower knew what it was covered with so they refered me to hobbico. they "thought" it might be towerkote. i ordered two rolls of red and white and without question it was towerkote. colors matched perfectly. point is it was advertised as monokote when i bought it. they do not advertise it as monokote covered anymore.
