Surprised Armie allowed an aluminum corrosion magnet

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for watching. Good point. Was probably more a business decision than anything else. But from what we hear they ride well. I be going out this weekend and ride it and will do another video about it.

I think a Foil Drive Armstrong integrated mast is next :-)

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for watching. How hilarious would that be. If it happens I make sure we have a video about it.

[@mikeinhoodriver]

Great video Mike.

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thank you. Glad you like it. Now we have to ride this thing

[@mikeinhoodriver]

@@StandUpMagazin Go get it!

Interesting to see the base plate looks like it is die cast. Possibly the doodad too? The sideways screw through baseplate and mast is a great idea, that's where my Axis baseplates used to open up with a ground impact. Me being me, I infused my own carbon mast including baseplate and doodad so now it's a non issue😊

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for watching, stoked you like the video. By the way what is a doodad?

[@fluiditynz]

@@StandUpMagazin The "doodad" is Axis name for the part that goes between aluminium mast and fuselage. In New Zealand doodad is also a generic name for an unknown part of machinery. If you look at a company like Konrad, they have multiple designs of them to work with different brands of fuselages.

[@StandUpMagazin]

@@fluiditynz ah I get it... I googled that and got the machine part that is why I was confused.

[@jasonleitch6478]

Great video! Is this a 725 performance mast you are weighing? And what length is the aluminium mast? And is it 60cm fuse? Thx 🙏

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks happy you liked it. The mast is 85cm alu and carb. The fuse on the alu is about 10cm longer than the one on my carb set. I have the 60cm fuse there. Sorry should have said that in the video.

@@StandUpMagazinThe performance mast may be more comparable in weight actually. I’d be interested to see a flex and weight test compared to the performance mast. I’m also curious to hear what it feels like in the water. When I got my PM, the felt drag was significantly lower!

[@jasonleitch6478]

@@StandUpMagazin I see. Thx for the quick reply! So regards the fuse, are you saying the alu one is therefore 70cm?

[@scratzch]

Is that fuselage compatible with a carbon mast?

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for watching. Check the full video I show how it all is assembled. Short answer is no.

[@scratzch]

@StandUpMagazin thanks, thats a shame.. omw to maui today. Maybe I'll see you on the water!

[@brookelanesadler9432]

Yeussss. That's me when it's out

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for watching. It’s out end of week

[@robsharland2037]

Looks very axis with white stripes

[@StandUpMagazin]

Stoked you watched my video. Sadly I am not too familiar with the AXIS products, I wish would they let me review one.

[@StandUpMagazin]

@@evanmavridoglou7814 oh believe me, I am in the business and sent more emails to more potential clients than you can think of. --> Crickets. Mostly. My goal is to grow more so they cant ignore me anymore.

[@jasonleitch6478]

Armstrong has always had the white stripes like this, from the beginning.

[@BH-ci1xo]

@@jasonleitch6478I think he’s joking because a lot of armie fans talked trash on Axis when they only offered an aluminum mast. I don’t get into any of the foil wars stuff, I just love my Armie setup with the HA980 🙂

[@kshred3043]

Armstrong is based in New Zealand. There is no aluminum in NZ, only aluminium. So, Armstrong is debuting aluminium masts. 😄

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for watching yes you noticed right you can spell that word in two different ways: Aluminum and Aluminium. I had to choose..
