Bax,
There are quite a few on RCU that would like an explanation on the apparant missleading Monokote Advertisng. Why have things not been addressed. You still advertise the Skybolt as Monokote covered, but admitted in a past thread that the covering was sourced. If you call GP they still give you the run around like they have never heard of covering complaints before. Many people are wondering what the responce on the covering is going to be. I think you have had plenty of time to check into the facts like you told me you would, both in a PM and on the now locked thread. All I know is that every time I look at one of these Supposibly Monokote covered planes, it just about makes you sick.!!!!!
I myself have lost all comfidence in GP products, and have since switched to different brands. I am not the only one who thinks this way either. You should try a poll for your self, or read the actual threads, and not beat around the bush when answering them.

Here is a reponce somebody else recieved from GP.


This has been going on for quite some time with GP arfs, here is a post from the Skybolt ARF thread.

I'm sorry, but the checkerboard pattern on the bottom of the wing is not Monocot. In fact, it's actually a factory sourced covering that our overseas manufacturer put applied to the bottom wing. We don't carry the exact same checkerboard pattern material. If you need to make a repair you could use Monocot covering , cut the size of the damaged are or Top Flite Trim Sheets.
