is £400 a good price for one of these?

anyone know the wind range? any opinions?

are you selling or buying?

I know someone looking for one of these if your selling

Superdog - 29-4-2010 at 03:45 PM

buying

good kite mate ... will pull your arms off in about 12 - 15 knots

Plus the fact that flexi is not making another 8.5 (currently) it makes it special

£400 rtf sound fair? its only been flown twice apparently

Superdog - 29-4-2010 at 04:24 PM

well, I've gone ahead and bought it! Excited!

Anyone got any tips for flying this thing? which AOA is best for learning the kite?

This kite new was $839.95 kite only. I think that is about 636,68 euro?
If my conversions are current 400 euro would be about $527.57

not a bad price ... especially if you consider the blade IV is a awesome kite and you can not get it any more. Its not like you can (currently) simply order a blade V 8.5m.

this kite is AWESOME - 15 mph will scare you - i got my biggest, floatiest, nicest jump ever on a Blade4 8.5 here in Denver in 15-20mph. Dakitez is spot on in saying that it will tear your arms off rather than rip/detach them off like the great 4.9
