Flexifoil finally released the media pack on the Blade V

3 sizes available: 4.0, 4.9, 6.5 m
Each with there own single color scheme per size. Green, Red, Blue. Trim colors on each are Gold, White.

MSRP was not published, but backing into the dealer cost, looks like about 6% higher than revised 2009 pricing on the Blade IV, probably about $442, $505, $615

Primary difference claimed is faster turning.

Oh, and according to the press release it comes complete with a pump. :tumble::tumble: (the dangers of cut-and-paste, I suppose) Quote...

READY TO FLY WITH // Blade V Kite/ Pump/ Repair kit
/Instructions/ Registration Pack/ Kite Storage Bag

...end quote

handles and lines are not included, as with previous models, despite the "READY TO FLY" banner

Stock available in a couple of weeks, they claim.

A pump? For what?

Hmm, im not sure these are going to go to hot following the 4 series... may be to hard of an act to follow
juss my 2 cents

I'm sure they didn't mess up the performance of the IV. I loved the graphics and performance of the IV but won't pass judgment on the V till I get a chance to put some time in with it.

What is not clear to me is if they have put the adjustable cross- bridle that used to be only on the 6.5 and 8.5 now on the smaller sizes as well.

You didnt hear the new blade v is an LEI

I just want to gently throttle the folks responsible for the site redesign on the Flexifoil site.... some of it is just defies all logic.

ATB,
