skyjumpsteve 0 #1 December 23, 2006 On the "products" page of the Bird-man website they have something listed called "Blade". Underneath the logo it says "Prepare. January 2007". There is no other info. What is the Blade? ...is it the next Skyflyer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
