I haven't read or seen anything on the Blade V, any ideas when it's supposed to be released...(ie... this year, next year).

I've been asking this question a lot lately, just the other day Flexi .com went down and when they came up I was all over it to see if they had
anything new in regards to the new BV but no luck yet... hoping someone can give some insight here...
anyone been over on the Flexi forum and heard anything?
I'll go and check to see if I can find anything later...
I'm wanting to know if its much better so I can go get a full quiver of IV's or wait for the V's...

I guess it'll grow on me but I liked my Blade IV in Petrol much better. I still miss that kite from time to time.

Wow, I LOVE that green, orange, white color scheme. I kind of like the "one color per size" thing. It makes it easier to tell what sizes others are
flying on the beach. Plus it must keep costs down. And it saves me the trouble of laboring over what color to choose. Must make it a lot easier on
the dealers as well.

Kite has a lettering "4.0" in the middle of the logo. What does that mean? It seems to resemble the Blurr more than Blade. Colors are very nice.
You have any other links/info. on these kites?
Thanks.

Looks like the orange green and white is a 4.0m, and the orange, yellow, white is a 6.5m. The logo has the A in BLADE superimposed over the 'V' (mark
5).

As Flexi has already discontinued "Midnight" and "Punk" was only a limited run, I kind of liked the idea that they let you choose colors within a
given size.
Ozone seem to do that in its upper tier... in the lower price range the colors are size dependent. Definitely prefer the former.
ATB,
Sam

all the flexi riders are getting their sets right now, so the word is soon to be out - the flying traits i am hoping to see are a hybrid of the III
and IV..the III is grunty and has glide, the IV is very refined and creates power very progressively . i have 14 old uns and i had a mad time on the
blade1 3.3 in a 30 mph yesterday:singing:....erm , not sure on the v's yet , but if i see an improvement on the IV's, i'll possibly get a 6.5 ...
