This is not a complete answer, but it might help a researcher. TopFlite kites were made by the Crunden-Martin Manufacturing Company of St. Louis. So the fate of Crunden Martin is really what needs to be discovered. The best I've been able to find is that the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1990, but whether they came out of it or were purchased or liquidated I simply don't know.

Top Flite clubs and golf balls operate under the parent company of Callaway Golf.
Calloway purchased Top Flite Golf in 2003. Calloway later sold Top Flite to Dick's Sporting Goods in 2012.
First of all it"s a top Flite ( really Top Flight, but advertising spelling is Top Flite) the Monokote process was originally developed for- shrink-wrapping fabric coverings on the wings of- you guessed it model airplanes. it came out in the seventies and was quite popular for a spell, as it was a proprietary product of the Top Flite company. Model airplane hobby has , sadly cracked-up and I do not even know if Top Flite is still in business. good luck! Product and system were never intended for doll work- but covering of wings on model airplanes.

You take your kite to the top of the mountain and when you have the kite in your "hand" you click the pole and the you have it!
The top and bottom of a kite will never be equal (unless it is a square)but the left and right angles of the kite will be.
yes a kite's adjacent angles on the top and bottom are congruent.
