I have a Flexifoil Blade 7.2m kite and it is awesome. I can easily fly straight five six feet up even when the kite is out of the wind overhead . This
kite has power that can be controlled if you have had flown large power kites like this before several times, but even then it can still get out of
control. Last week when i was at a kite festival early one day i took out my Blade in 15mph wind and attached my harness and started flying and
skidding. Then the wind really picked up to around 18-20mph and the power was almost uncontrolable because i was up in the air every five seconds or
so and was now having to always take it out of the wind.
This kite is not for the faint hearted it has so much power you could if you wanted fly atleast 20-25 feet up in the air after the wind conditions
pasted 15mph. But don't forget this kite is perfect for light wind buggying because it is so large. I love it.
Anyone else have a Blade have any opinions?:singing:

I bought a (secondhand) blade I 7.2m a couple of days ago and have been amazed by the power of it! I have spent all my spare time since then jumping.
Fantastic lift and power! If you time it right it is possible to do huge jumps off high banks or hills. The other day I was flying it in the evening.
I flew two 360's in opposite directio9ns and it still managed to scud me a few inches when it got back into the wind window. This kite seems to
generate wind from nowhere. A fantastic bargin since it only cost me £150.
