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

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.
