I'm not exactly sure of the answer, but maybe I can shed some light...

Some years ago, Top Flite had the original Monokote, and improved it,
renaming it Super Monokote.  This remained the same for at least 10
years.  Last year, Great Planes bought out Top Flite, and in the process
has been revamping several lines of products, including the covering.

When they created a new look for the advertisements and the insert
for the package, I believe they took off the 'Super' to be in line
with what most people know it as - "MonoKote".  Would someone out
there actualy like to venture a call to Great Planes and check this
out??? :-)
