GKPI Factory Outlet

If you have ever visited a real factory outlet store, then you know what this page is all about. Bargains!

We have product over-runs at marked-down prices, discounted factory seconds, and special values on demo kites or slightly damaged and repaired returns. We also have some special purchases listed for you. In each case, we'll explain what the status is of products we offer.

A note to AKA members: The Association policy is that you get a 10% discount off the regular list price of a purchase, or the sale price -- whichever is lower. Most Factory promotions are for more than 10% off. When that is the case, we unfortunately cannot give you both the AKA discount and the Factory discount..

Manta Ray

Just imagine telling your friends you got a $1400 discount!!

The kite has several repairs to the tail (which are not particularly visible once it is off the ground). And it is a bit dusty. But as you can see, colors are bright

Spirit

Spirit Flier

Here is an amazing kite for general flying or special events like memorial flies or night shows.

Made by Martin Lester of England, the Spirit dances in the breeze with long, 20 foot extremities trailing behind. He (or she) definitely makes an impression.

Priced at $350. each Spirit is imported from England. They are a bit hard to get. But we have several in stock.

Just in from Hank Manseau: Spirit is probably the best-flying inflatable I have ever had the pleasure of flying. I typically fly it on 80# line and it is an incredibly graceful and efficient kite with a very good lift to drag ratio. I find that it flies extremely well from 7-8 mph to 20 mph. Beyond that range it becomes unstable. The bottom line is... this is a GREAT kite!

Basket on a Stick!

Basket on a Stick: We've taken the traditional 7.5 inch spinning basket and attached it to a 2 foot semi-rigid plastic rod. You also get a set of 2 foot streamers.

This is normally a $7 retail item. But as an introductory special, we'll offer packages of ten for 30% off. That's $4.90 each!!

Wave them in a parades, mark off your kite-camp perimeter, or give them to the kids and have them run around until they are worn out! At that price, you could even afford to buy a batch and sell them in your kite camp!!

Eagle Rokkaku
Note: We'll have more of these great kites in January. And we'll be happy to put you on the list for one.

The bold image may look familiar. And we'd be proud to have you fly it.

The "Gom-Kaku" is fully appliquéd, six feet tall, and light framed so it will stay in the sky when the opposition is struggling to stay aloft. All corners are encased to minimize tipping points. And our unique o-ring tensioners keep the spine secure and make sure the sections don't get lost when you fold it up.

Custom Tube Tails:

We had a special order for some custom tails. Turns out we had to make some extra ones to use up the fabric efficiently. And extra tails means extra savings for Factroy Readers. What we have are two pieces -- 100 feet long. They are all black with a smooth taper to the pointed end. These would normally be $140 each. But we'll sell the pair for $200.

303 Solution: Blue Octopus:

OK -- here's the story. We've gotten in some larger kites that didn't inflate well. Originally, we thought there was a bridling problem. It took forever before we noticed all the problem children were blue and ordered at the same time. That's when we began to test the fabric.

Turns out we got some poorly-sealed nylon. Looks great, but doesn't hold air.

The Kite Studio (kitebuilder.com) offers a product called 303 that you spray or paint on and is supposed to seal things up. If you are willing to give it a try, we'll offer the kites at 50%! And if it doesn't work or you aren't happy, we'll refund your money.

Octopus -- 45 foot - blue: Was $1400 -- now $700
