Armstrong A Wing XPS Design Specs (2 of 3)

[@johan-matthygreyling7366]

Why isn't there a 7m size wing? We inland wing foilers needs it.

[@REALmattnuzzo]

There will be a light wind specific wing down the line. Totally different needs as far as design and materials

[@franotregaskis8661]

67kgs and sat on the fence in regards to buying a 6.1 for light wind or waiting for the light wind wing… any rough idea on a release date?

Hi Matt, nice review again. I haven't found any details about the wingspan and AR and or length of the Strut. Looking for the details of the 4.6 and 5.3, could you help out? thanks in advance

[@REALmattnuzzo]

Hmm. Don’t have those specs but did measure the 6.1m XPs vs the 6.5m a wing v2 and the xps was 30cm narrower wing span. These wings are really user friendly and easy to handle. Will try to measure them next time I’m out.

Thanks, Matt. I saw the weights posted on Real. Do they feel significantly lighter than the V2s? I sold my quiver to go with Strike V2s--now looking to get a full quiver of the XPS.

[@REALmattnuzzo]

Yes the XPS are over half a pound lighter than A wing v2 and feel a lot lighter in hand. 4.5 v2 5.7 lbs. 4.6 XPS 5 lbs.

Major step forward in design again by Armstrong.

[@ptj6412]

do you know how the XPS compares to the Takuma RS wings?

Hi Matt, some questions remaining after your review: - are the handles removeable? Seems like they are sewed on permanently? Did not hear anything in the review about it - single inflation point? - what kind of valve? never used an Armstrng wing before but am curious now - recommended pressure? thanks in advance

[@REALmattnuzzo]

Handles are not removable. They are sewn in. There is an inflation valve on strut and one on the leading edge. No one pump. Valve is the kind that you twist the pump hose on to it so no adapter needed. Pressure is 8 lbs on the 4m and below and 7 lbs on the 4.6m and bigger.

@@REALmattnuzzo Thx

Nice wing!..Looks expensive though.

[@REALmattnuzzo]

It’s actually cheaper than most Dacron competitors. Should be a lot more but they kept the price down.
