This kite has been sold....
Flexifoil Blade Mk III 4.9m w/ Bar (Fixed Bridle) RTF.
Now $$$$... shipping included to any continental US location.
Includes kite, bag, lines, Flexifoil bar w/ wrist leash kite killer. Sail not crispy, but in ok condition. There are small patches on this kite and I
have tried to show those in the photos. Lines a little faded, but appear to have lots of life left in them. Flies very well.
Bag is in ok condition, far from perfect, but still functional. One plastic buckle is broken on main flap (right bottom corner, see pics). Mesh on
main compartment has a hole in it (see pics). I am not responsible for the artwork on front flap of bag (the big "4.9") and kind of wish the previous
owner had picked another method to identify this kite's size, but they didn't.
If you are looking for an older Blade in pristine condition, this isn't it. This one is very funtional though and a ton of fun to fly (with the
proper respect). I was really on the fence about whether to sell this one or not, but this particular size of Blade makes me a bit uncomfortable...
it has the power to easily lift me off the ground, but not enough sail area to always set me down as nicely as I would like. Granted, my redirection
technique still needs perfecting, but I just prefer a sail with a little more float for jumping.
This is definitely NOT a good choice for a first kite if you are brand new to the sport, so I only wish to sell this to someone with experience.
If you would prefer Flexifoil quad handles with kite killers over the Flexi bar set up, I can swap those out before shipping.
