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..

Road Signs: These are great kites and we're convinced that if people see them flying, we'll sell more. How to get them flying? Mak them down for friends like you!
Sander's Signs

Kevin Sanders from Australia is a wonderfully creative kitist who combines technical proficiency and solid avionics with a light hearted sense of humor. In this case, the result is a series of flying road signs that offer unexpected phrasing.

We're making three styles -- the round, the rectangular, and the diamond. We can easily change the colors and even the wording for you. Think fun! Think creative! Think what road signs would say in a perfect world....

Each piece is constructed with a mesh inflation panel, a lifter loop, and a drogue for added stability. Fly them independently or in stacks. Signs measure 5 feet across and are 25 feet tall, not including the two attached drogues.

A lifter isn't necessary for these able fliers. The loop is added to make it easier to stack pieces in a train of signs. Put one word on each and spell out a message!

Recently I asked Sanders about the inspiration for the project. Click on this short video for an introduction to the origins of these fine kites and a taste of the fellow that created them.

Each Road Sign is priced at $300. I have a Round (No Way!), a Diamond (G'Day) and a Diamond (Kite X-ing) available for 25% off each. Or order a new one and get 10% off.

Sky Streamers: These are HUGE sheets of fabric - about five feet wide at the base and 100 feet tall. Anchor one end to the ground and the other to a sizable lifter. The result is a shimmering wall of color.

The leading edge of each Streamer is reinforced so you can use it in place of a flying line. Click here for a photo of two streamers under one kite.

We're making Sky Streamers in solid colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, or black. They sell for $200 each - which is roughly $2 a foot! But we have two red ones on the shelf we'll let go for $160 each!

Defective Octopus: That's right. it is defective. The fabric looks perfectly fine. But it won't hold air and that means the kite doesn't fully inflate. No inflation means no flight.

Now maybe you have a secret fabric sealer we don't know about. Or maybe you want to gang it on display or fill it with Styrofoam peanuts and create a statue. There are all kinds of possibilities. We just don't want to throw it away.

List price on a 45 foot Octopus is $1400. We'll sell this one for $500.

I have a Sharky made from the same fabric. List is $350. Sale price $150.

But since we told you at the outset that these don't inflate, you can't return them as defective.

Glass Kite

Stained Glass Kites:

We picked up a bunch of these sweet little kites from a hand-crafter. They are about 6 inches tall -- plus tail - and have a haning loop on the back.

I now have just blue left. You can have them for $10 each or three for $25. Great in a window, the garden, or for gifts! I also have five smaller peices in red and blue. Buy all 5 for $15.

Chimes

Wind Chimes

Music of the Spheres makes the best windchimes. Black, powder-coated, aluminum alloy tubing. Musical pitch in orchestral pitch. Durability guarantee. And they are just plain cool. We've loved them since we first visited the producer in Austin, Texas. Long onto the MOS web page and listen to the tones.

Susie and I have one of the big ones in our garden, and we carried them in our stores. But the new retail location doesn't have the ability to display heavy chimes. So we've put the last of our inventory here on the Factory.

Don't buy them! That way in a few months, I can add these to the garden too. OK - buy them. But I'll miss them when they go....

Opera Mask

Chinese Opera Mask:

This intese flying creation measures ten feet wide and thirty feet long with the connected tube tails. It is patterned after the classic performance masks of the Beijing Opera.

This is a great flying kite, designed by Pedro and Esteban Gonzalez of Spain. He's completely soft, fully inflatable and performs with or without a lifter. Mesh openings and zippered vents help with inflation and deflation.

We normally sell these spectacular kites for $1250. But we have one on the shelf you can have for $999.

They have been a big hit on the flying field. But we have two on the shelf that need to turn into money....

Choose green or blue, each with white accents. Frogs run about 19 feet long and come with a drogue and stuff-sack for $500 each. We'll sell these for $400 each

Big Fish

Giant PL Fish:

This is the BIG one. Body length is about 40 feet with extended fin tubes adding another 30 feet to the overall impression.

We have a cool model that has been out of the bag twice. It is in what peter calls "as new" condition.

The current exchange rate places the maxis ar about $4500 plus shipping from New Zealand. But you can add something enormous to your bag for $3500.

Unique Octopus

I just received an interesting call.

An old friend is cleaning out his kite shed and found an original Peter Lynn Octopus dating back to the early 1990's. The kite has been flown three times -- on grass, not sand -- and is in pristine condition. Colors are bright pink with black accents.

The interesting part is the size. This one is mid-way between a middi and a maxi. It is 67 feet long and 8 feet wide. The long and narrow size was never put into production so this one is a unique collectible. Asking price is $2750.

If you are interested, drop me a note.

    You can't help smiling at them, can you?? The smaller 10 foot size Crabs from New Zealand are good fun. And we have some in stock right now. Choose the warm or cool version. $450.

    Peter Lynn Crab

    Scuba Diver

    Scuba Diver

    It's the flying scuba diver -- complete with wetsuit, flippers and tank--pursued by a shark drogue that also doubles as a bag.

    It's really amazing that he flies at all! Fourteen feet long and full of fun! Priced at $350.

    Divers are made in England by Martin Lester and a bit hard to get. We try to keep them in stock but will be happy to put you on our list if we don't have one right now.

    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!

    Eagle Rokkaku

    Gom-Kaku: Here's a kick-butt cool rokkaku that is perfect for fighting or for fun.

    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.

    We normally sell our limited-edition appliqued roks for $175. Even the stock designs from other folks go for $90. But as a promotional special, we're offering this extraordinary kite at an extraordinary price -- just $80!! So give us a call and we'll put our colors in your sky.
