Armstrong Titanium Core Fuselage

Maintaining the Armstrong Titanium Core Fuselage

• Rinsing: Rinse the fuselage, screws, barrel nuts and shims in fresh water after every saltwater session to remove salt, sand and dirt.
• Cleaning: If needed, use mild soap with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents and pressure washers near the connections.
• Drying: Let all parts air-dry completely in the shade before assembling them. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.
• Storage: Store the fuselage in its protective cover in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Regularly check screws, barrel nuts and surfaces for wear or damage, and make sure the hardware is tightened correctly before every session.
• Transport: Always use the protective cover during transport to prevent the carbon surface from hitting hard objects.

What sizes does the Armstrong Titanium Core Fuselage come in?

The fuselage is available in 600 and 700 mm lengths, so you can choose between extra maneuverability or more pitch control and stability.

Does the fuselage fit my existing Armstrong setup?

Yes. The future-proof design fits Armstrong foils from all years, and it is fully compatible with existing HS and CF parts, such as wings, masts, and stabilizers.

What’s included?

It comes with a protective cover, M6 hardware in titanium and 316 stainless steel, plastic shims in multiple thicknesses, and a T30 Torx key.

Which length should I choose?

The 600 mm offers a good balance of maneuverability and stability and is a popular choice for experienced foilers, while the 700 mm is calmer and more forgiving, making it suitable for beginners and intermediate riders.

Can I adjust the stabilizer angle?

Yes. The included Polycarbonate Pro Shims in different thicknesses let you fine-tune the stabilizer angle, but most users can easily mount the stabilizer directly without shims.

Can titanium and carbon withstand saltwater?

Yes. The titanium core and the hardware in titanium and 316 stainless steel are selected for their corrosion resistance, but regular rinsing with fresh water will still extend the life of all hardware.

How do I maintain the fuselage?

Rinse it with fresh water after use in saltwater, let it dry in the shade, and store it in its protective cover in a dry place. Check regularly that the screws are properly tightened.

Can I upgrade my old setup to the A+ System?

Yes, Armstrong offers an upgrade kit that lets you retrofit existing front wings and your current mast with A+ System barrel nut fittings.
