Zoom XA！Alex Höllwarth’s new brand. It is the second wing to come from the new brand.

Zoom say the XA is robustly made to cope with the demands of training. All Porcher cloth, it is made from Skytex 38 on top and Eazyfly 40 underneath with 13mm Kevlar risers. All but the top gallery lines are sheathed.

Zoom say the XA is easy and forgiving to launch and very collapse-resistant. Handling is precise, turns intuitive, and the “low but well-defined” brake pressure ramps up as you approach stall point.

Five sizes are defined by upper weight limits (85, 95, 105, 115, 125), the naming system Skywalk use.  

FUN DURING AND AFTER TRAINING

The concept of the XA has been primary set to the training class by Alex Höllwarth. To cope with the high structural demand of daily training, the XA has been fitted with a very robust mix of lines and material for the upper and lower surface of the wing. Beside that, the XA shows a perfect mix of easy launch and turn ability together with a high stability of its wing. The XA has been fitted with several high-end technical features, which are normally found only in higher class wings. Therefore, the XA shows a very precise and intuitive handling in turns. This makes that wing a perfect match for the first wing after the flight training.

SAFE FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

As the XA is designed primarily as a beginner wing, Alex Höllwarth has put a lot of effort to the safety features of the XA during its design phase. From the beginning, the XA shows easy and error forgiving launch characteristic. In flight the very collapse resistant wing of the XA gives the pilot at any time a very good and safe feedback. The brake pressure throughout the flight range is comfortable low but approaching the limits it rises significantly.
