pansh kites

[hankster]

when pansh 1st came on the market ok they were cheap but not upto scratch & i never had a good word to say about them,now they've ironed out all the problems and after someone giving me a go on his 5m you can put them anywhere in the window within reason a tiny bit of brake & it just sits their waiting for your next move it was pretty windy that day and got a few decent airs, on one the lad who owns the kite said my feet musy of been 8 to 10ft off the ground also now they're very well made and still cheap.

I agree, my 5m ace has been so much fun, next purhcase is going to be the new Flux i think for the other half to use along side the Sammi.

[Snowbobby86]

I agree. My Pansh Flux's are still my go to kites when I get on the beach. They are so stable in the buggy and can fly one handed with a strop line on handles. I reccomend

[skidmarks]

of course they are they are chinese and mastered the art of copying to a t so enjoy them whilst the real makers go out of business after all the money they invested to get there products up to scratch and safe for you so think before you buy id pay the extra

[Broady]

I thought the flux was there own design and had spent money on making it up to scratch and safe.

They aren't making direct copies like the other Chinese factories. I can see why you should avoid those.

But isn't pansh now a reputable company now as they even have there kites in our kite shops?

Zzzzzzz skids do you cut and paste that each time a Pansh thread starts!? You are getting far too predictable!

 

The Flux is their own kite was being tested for 2 years, it is a stable kite and great for beginners/intermediates .....and at least Pansh are bringing new kites to the sky, who else has anything new in the fixed bridle range? Ozone - just re-skins, Flexi - nothing since 2009, PKD - Nothing in since 2010, HQ - Nothing since the Beamer V

By their own admission they evade UK import taxes. They're cheaper because they don't help pay for the nice people with the ambulances and helicopters who help us. I wouldn't even consider buying one second-hand. In addition, there's an (admittedly small) chance you'll get a letter from Revenue & Customs asking you to stump up the balance after you've bought one.

[papalazaro]

It is up to the buyer to pay import tax not the seller abroad. And when customs find out that thrre has been no tax pansh pay it out of good will

They do, however, have to declare what the import is in the paperwork. They declare it as a gift, when in fact it is a sale. This means the buyer is free to have their kite impounded by R&C and get no refund.

[Broady]

Pansh offer a full refund if the kite doesn't arrive to you, or so I remember reading.

Also, what was the legend, ace etc based on if they weren't there designs?

[nudge1599968719]

Also the flux is now being sold in 2 different kite shops so you could buy direct from a kite shop and help out a UK business in a trade that is suffering badly
