Hello.

Naturally, it's a living document, so it might change over time. It does reflect
the higher normal fuel pressure range with the newest Rotax engine side

As there are many different configurations of instruments on existing Alleg
ro, there is no one answer to say "this" needs to be done. However, LSA Am
erica, Inc. did issue an LOA (Letter Of Authorization) to allow any qualifi
ed avionics shop to install an ADSB. As this is not critical to the flight
characteristics of the Allegro, the owner/operator also has the options to
install, but is must be checked by a qualified avionics person. The newer
Allegro with Dynon "glass have a very easy option to go with the Dynon ADS
B offer. However, this is NOT mandatory, with the owner/operator making th
e final judgement call. Please contact LSA America, Inc. with any question
s.

| Subject: | Allegro Questions |
Greetings,
I am new to the Allegro aircraft and have an Allegro 2007. I have a
couple of questions I hope you can help me with given your experience.
1) I am amazed at the flimsy little hook under the wing apparently to
be use for a tiedown?? It is held onto the bottom of the wing by two
small rivets. I am thinking that this is possibly not intended for the
tiedown. About 8 to 10 inches outboard of this fixture is a threaded
hole which is roughly 3/16" ID. I wonder if this threaded hole is
intended to accept an eye bolt to be used for a tiedown. Please let me
know if you have any experience with this issue.
2) My second question is related to the air speed pitot tube. My pitot
tube Is located on the top of the vertical stabilizer. This location
experiences wild gyrations in airspeed on final approach. I noticed in
the 2007 Allegro literature that their airspeed pitot is located beneath
the outboard right wing. I wonder if this change in pitot location from
the tail to the right-wing was necessitated due to these gyrations in
airspeed indications. Please let me know if you have any experience
with this issue.
Thanks for all your help,
Dee LeBlanc

Hello.
Mine is a little different then your Allegro, so this might not directly apply.
The tie down hooks on mine were tested earlier this week. It held the aircraft
in a storm which continued on to make a tornado and damage homes. My Allegro
is in an open t-hangar with partial protection from the wind. IIRC, the weather
station reported 40 mph winds before it was knocked offline. The wind
was strong enough to rip both gust-lock pucks off the wings....I didn't think
that was possible. The tie down hooks did just fine. My first impression of
them was similar to yours, however, I believe it's an unfounded concern.
My pitot tube isn't located in the same spot, so I can't help you there. I've
seen them in a couple different spots. It seems the Allegro fleet varies. Mine
is #2 built in the US by LSA America and I know its pitot tube is different
then some of the ones built afterwards. Perhaps Doug can help you with that
on Monday.

Let me address the tie down hooks first. They will hold. As an example, w
e were at Sun-n-Fun a few years back when storms and tornado came through a
nd cause havoc with the airplanes there. Our three Allegros suffered no da
mage when aircraft next to us were flipped up-side down.
As to the pitot tube on the early Fantasy Air 2007 models, there were put o
n the rear of the fuselage close to the horizontal stabilizer. THe idea wa
s to put it somewhere it could not be "bumped" into and cause damage. Howe
ver, is some cases when the angle is just right, the pitot will allow for i
naccurate readings of the ASI. After we bought FAntasy Air and moved produ
ction here to the USA, we changed it back to the right side strut cover.
We have since then changed over to much heavier duty pitot tube and put it
into the right wing, which allows both a better and stronger position, but
also allows for AOA.
The Fantasy Air built 2007 models can change over to the strut pitot config
uration if they so desire. This is not mandatory. Please contact LSA Amer
ica, inc.for additional information on changing out the pitot.
THank you,
Doug

Hello,
I just bought an Allegro that sat in a hanger for about 7 years and the
previous owner cut all fuel lines and electrical connect when he pulled the
engine out to get looked at because of a prop strike. I have all the
electrical connection all set but I can't seem to figure out the fuel hose.
Does anyone has picture of the engine setup with all fuel lines I do have
wing tanks .
Thank you for your help.

My 2007 Allegro pitot location is on the vertical stabilizer. The ASI varies wildly
10-15mph. Doug at Allegro said there's a kit to convert to a wing or strut
mounted pitot; however I'm not able to get information on this kit. Would anyone
know where I can obtain a kit or instructions for this conversion? Thanks
for your response.

I had my maiden flight in my 2007 Allegro yesterday. All went as expected except
for very stiff rudder ground control and very stiff rudder control in the air.
I've read a bit on Matronics about machining parts on the nosewheel struck
to improve this situation. Would anyone have any additional information on how
to improve the stiffness on the rudder pedals both in the air and on the ground
handling? Thanks for your response.

I had my maiden flight in my 2007 Allegro yesterday. One concern that I had was
the smell of fuel particularly at low airspeed. My 17 gallon tank is in the fuselage
under the seats. Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so what
was your resolution? Also, would anyone happen to have a fuel system diagram
showing feed lines, return lines, and vent lines . . . This may help to determine
where are the vapors are originating from. Thanks for your response.

| Subject: | Re: Fuel Vapors in Cockpit |
Dee One,
If you are smelling fuel, my first suggestion is "don't fly the plane until
you find the source of the fuel smell". You have too much at stake, your
life!!
Is your airplane a new allegro that was manufactured by LSA America? If it
is call them and ask for help in finding the source of the fuel odor. If you
bought your plane as a used Allegro, I would still call them. Another
question is your Allegro a S-LSA or and E-LSA? If you have a S-LSA Allegro
you probably have only a limited amount of technical information, drawings,
diagrams, etc.. I fly an E-LSA Allegro 2000 model which I built from a Kit
and know intimately, and can only comment on that airplane (which is a
little different than an Allegro 2007 model). On the Allegro 2000 the
electric fuel pump is just in front of the main belly tank under the floor
board. Not sure where it is on the 2007 Model. Also, if you have wing tanks
the plumbing for the fuel lines is much more complex than with out wing
tanks.
My first suggestion is to check the two fuel vent connections on the main
fuel tank under your seat. They should be located just inside the cockpit on
the very left side of the tank under the carpet covering.
My second suggestion is to remove the top engine cowl and carefully inspect
ALL the fuel line connections to the mechanical fuel pump, the fuel
distributer (a five prong device that has five fuel lines connected to it)
located on the top of the engine, and all fuel lines down stream from the
fuel distributer. One of these downstream lines is a vent line back to the
main fuel tank, one goes to the fuel pressure gage on your instrument
panel(if you have a mechanical pressure gage), two go to the two carbs., and
the last is the line coming in from the engine fuel pump.
My third suggestion is to find out where the electric fuel pump is located.
If it is under the floor board remove the floor board and check the fuel
line connections to the electric fuel pump and the fuel tank, and the
gascolator if it has one, and all other fuel line connections between the
gascolator and the engine fuel pump.
Do these inspections in sequence and hopefully you will find the problem,
but by all means don't fly the plane until you find the source of fuel odor
and correct it.

Subject: Allegro-List: Fuel Vapors in Cockpit
I had my maiden flight in my 2007 Allegro yesterday. One concern that I had
was the smell of fuel particularly at low airspeed. My 17 gallon tank is in
the fuselage under the seats. Has anyone else experienced this issue and if
so what was your resolution? Also, would anyone happen to have a fuel system
diagram showing feed lines, return lines, and vent lines . . . This may help
to determine where are the vapors are originating from. Thanks for your
response.

Hello Hugh, good to hear back from you. I have already completed all of
the actions that you have suggested below. I have checked all the
connections and they all look good. I have made a fuel system diagram
and it is as you described below. The only anomaly that I found was fuel
stains on the belly between the gascolater (which is in front of the
firewall) and the fuel tank drain valve. The fumes may be coming from
the gascolater and it may have a bad gasket. I will check into that.
Thanks again.

If it is call them and ask for help in finding the source of the fuel
odor. If you bought your plane as a used Allegro, I would still call
them. Another question is your Allegro a S-LSA or and E-LSA? If you have
a S-LSA Allegro you probably have only a limited amount of technical
information, drawings, diagrams, etc.. I fly an E-LSA Allegro 2000 model
which I built from a Kit and know intimately, and can only comment on
that airplane (which is a little different than an Allegro 2007 model).
On the Allegro 2000 the electric fuel pump is just in front of the main
belly tank under the floor board. Not sure where it is on the 2007
Model. Also, if you have wing tanks the plumbing for the fuel lines is
much more complex than with out wing tanks.

Dee,
If all other fuel connections are good the problem may very well be at
the gascolater, especially if there are fuel stains on the underside of
the airplane=92s belly. If the gascolater has never been opened it may
have a bad gasket to begin with, or if it has been opened to check for
contaminated fuel and bulb re-set; the gasket could be pinched, or the
bulb not seated properly on the gasket before tightening. Another
possibility is that the bulb itself is cracked due to over tightening.
Either of these could cause a small fuel lake at the gascolater which
because if its location would allow fumes to come up inside the cockpit
under the floor board when taxiing (low engine rpms and very low air
speed. speeds. It is going to be hard to determine if the bulb gasket is
damaged because of its location, but you can check the integrity of the
bulb by simply removing it and carefully inspecting it. I would check
the bulb first. If it is not damaged (cracked), then carefully inspect
the gasket seat in the bulb housing using a bright light. Of course
before you do this you will have to drain all the fuel!

Hi Hugh / Dee
My website and email forwarding problem has just been resolved
I keep the website up just to provide info on this great plane.
The nosewheel was stiff on delivery. It was 10 years ago and I don't remember exactly
but the original post pretty much describes what i did to fix it. If i
remember, I will take a photo of the piece in place.
Presumably, you have disconnected the rudder cables to isolate the nosewheel and
checked the lubrication of the 3 (?) grease nipples and no binding on the rudder
pedal bushings.

Dee, do you have wing tanks ?
I had a problem of fuel vapour smells but only on the climb out. The translucent
small fuel overflow / vent lines from the wing tanks were the problem. The original
connections and Tees looked ok but they leaked. If I remember correctely,
the hoses didn't quite fit over the barbs and the material was soft. I changed
them all and the problem went away.

I am reposting this email to Allegro in the hopes that some Allegro fans might
help me resolve these issues. Photos are attached.
Good Morning Doug,
I had my maiden flight this past Saturday and found that the 2007 Allegro N8097D
flies very well. There are however a couple of issues that I hope you can help
us with.
1) the last time we spoke you indicated that there is a kit to convert the tail
mounted pitot tube to a wing or strut mounted pitot tube. I'd like to know details
on how I can procure this kit. The ASI varies wildy 10 to 15 mph in slow
flight. Please let me know where I can buy this conversion kit with instruction
as well as the cost and delivery.
2) My CFI and I smelled fuel in the cockpit at slow flight. After further investigation
I found a puddle under the floor board originating from the fuel tank
outlet connection assembly. Attached below are photos of the assembly and a piece
of what looks like the remnant of a nylon compression gasket. Of course I
have no drawings of how this assembly goes together and no list of parts. This
fuel leak may have simply come from a deteriorated compression gasket. The gascolator
and filter in the gascolator are in good condition and very clean. Please
let me know if there is a nylon compression gasket that should fit up against
the screwed fitting coming out of the fuel tank. Also, in retracting the
fuel pick up tube from the tank, I'm not able to get it completely out. I assume
there is a filter of some sort at the end of the pick up tube which locates
at the low point in the fuselage tank. This will have to be disassembled to
install a new nylon gasket if that is in fact the arrangement that is needed.
Please advise me on how to correct this serious fuel in the cockpit issue.
3) The aileron and elevator controls are very smooth and light. However the rudder
is extremely stiff. I disconnected the linkage between the rudder pedals
and the nose gear lever; at this point it was very clear that the far majority
(95% plus) of the rudder force is due to nosewheel pivot resistance. An individual
on Matronics indicated that he had the same problem which he solved by
machining a part. Please see here the text of his post on Matronicss.
"When our Allegro 2000 was delivered the rudders were stiff.
We found the problem to be the sleeve (the piece with the lubricating nipple in
enclosed photo) jamming against the collar above. We machined it down a few thou
and the rudders are smooth and light.
Paul
Ive attached a few photos of the sleeve and collar that I believe hes referring
to. Please let me know what's your recommendation is to resolve this issue.
Any assembly drawing would be helpful. At this point very aggressive rudder forces
are needed for ground control and in the air.
Your timely response to these issues would be greatly appreciated. Email or call
me anytime. I copied my LSA mechanic on this email. Im looking forward to getting
this pretty little bird flying again.

The factory is in Littleton North Carolina, so you might be able to get it from
Doug. You can reach them at (252) 586-1200. Or it might be cheaper to swap
everything out with new? I'm an LSRM in Pittsboro, if you need any local help.

I have a 2007 Allegro with a 912 80hp engine. After an annual and a pneumatic balance

| Subject: | Excessive noise on VHF radio when Transmitting |
Gentlemen,
I have a noise problem on the VHF radio system in my plane when I
attempt to transmit. In fact The other day while flying through Class C
airspace the approach controller was telling me that my transmission was
broken and had so much noise he could hardly understand what I was
saying. I also hear the noise in my headphones when I transmit, not when
receiving.
I have visually checked all the ground connections on the plane and they
are clear of corrosion and are tight. While on the ground with the
engine not running the radio transmission is fine with no problems. The
problem only occurs when the engine is running. The noise sounds like
the frequency of the rotating generator on the back of the engine which
is a Rotax 912 UL. The audible frequency can be heard to vary with the
engine rpm. It is =9Cdirty=9D noise. My radio is a panel
mounted ICOM IC-A200. I also have two 10,000 mF capacitors connected in
parallel between the voltage regulator and ground as noise filters. I
have visually checked the two capacitors, and they seem to be in good
order (i.e. no swelling or distortion). The antenna is a Comant VHF CI
121 using a quarter wave ground plane. I have had no problems with this
system for ten years.
Here are the specifics:
Aircraft Allegro 2000 LSA
Engine Rotax 912 UL
TSN 741 hrs
Radio ICOM IC-A200
Antenna Comant VHF CI 121
Any and all advice as to how to identify what is causing the problem and
how to correct it would be appreciated.

Check the ground connection on the antenna. Mine has some silver tape on the
inside of the fiberglass to make your ground, possibly use ohmmeter to see i
f that ground connection has broke somehow. Possibly the final output transi
stors on the radio itself may be bad and you're putting out very low power s
o the noise covers the amount of audio going out. Possibly check the outgoin
g power of the radio. May have to be done at an avionic shop.

Visually checking the antenna grounds isn't going to cut it. I'd refresh
them manually. I have to do this once a year at least. (Stainless bolt
on aluminum antenna base. Not great.)
2nd guess is pre-existing ground loop is now picking up charging noise
due to a weakness in the system elsewhere. (Grounds?) You gotta be
religious about ground loops.

There are two main noise sources when the engine is running. Generator and spark
plugs. I would check all grounds again. Do you have a good meter which can
measure capacitance? Sometimes electrolyte caps can dry out without puffing.
You could confirm your noise source by disabling the generator and running
the engine. Does the static become better/change when running on only one ignition?

Sorry for the delay in reply. You can disconnect the two "G" wires at the regulator.
Tape and isolate them from touching anything including each other.

I have a flat tire on one of the main gear wheels on my Allegro 2000. I
want to remove the wheel without unscrewing the hydraulic brake line
from the caliper and loosing the brake fluid. Can I remove the disc
brake caliper from the disc leaving it attached to the hydraulic brake
line and then remove the wheel? If so how do I do it?

I've done this a number of times. All you have to do is remove the three bo
lts that attach the brake disk to the wheel. Then remove the cotton pin fro
m the axle shaft, remove the wheel retaining nut and the wheel should pull r
ight off the axle shaft. The caliper and brake disk stay in place.
Good luck!

| From: | "Dee One" <leblancds(at)cox.net> |
Greetings,
I have a few questions about my Allegro 2007 that I hope you can help me with.
First, I'm looking for strobe light bulbs for the strobe system that came with
the plane. Let me know where I can get them. One was replaced prior to me purchasing
plane, and the replacement burnt a hole through the len.
I am attempting to use the cigarette lighter receptacle for a USB charger for my
iPad; however I am getting no power. Can you tell me if there is a switch to
turn this on other than the ships master switch?
With the prop pitch setting as it is, max RPM that I get at 3000 feet is only 5000
RPM. The POH references full power at 5800 RPM. Should the prop be re-pitched
in order to not overstress the engine or is 5000 RPM max acceptable?
Thanks for your response,

I can't comment on the cigarette lighted receptacle issue or the prop pitch
setting, but I can give you information on replacing the strobe lights.
I have an Allegro 2000 rather than a 2007 so I don't know if the wing tips
on a 2007 model that house the landing light, strobe, and the nav light are
the same as the Allegro 2000. If they are the same Go to
www.hyper-lights.com and look for the Strobe Tube Pop In (clear) Model
EZHIDEC, and the Strobe Power Supply (1 Head 12 Watt) Model QUICKSTROBE.
Make sure you order the Pop in one (clear) model EZHIDEC. It requires a 1"
diameter hole. Carefully cut out the old bulb leaving exactly a 1" diameter
hole in the fiberglass mounting. The new strobe bulb will pop in the 1"
diameter hole. Seal around the back side of the hole with some RTV. Now
replace the old round "hockey puck" power supply that is mounted inside the
wing tip with the QUICKSTROBE power supply. Use the existing hole in the
bottom of the wing tip to attach one end of the QUICKSTROBE power supply and
some RTV to hold the other end in place. Attach the to the strobe bulb using
the connectors provide. Read the installation sheet that comes with the
QUICKSTROBE power supply.

Dee,
I fly an Allegro 2000 but I would assume that power receptacles are the same.
The power receptacle is protected by a fuse that is located on the panel near
the receptacle. Check the fuse and I'm sure you will find it blown. I had to
go to an electronics store to find a replacement fuse. BTW, the receptacle is
hot all the time, so remember to remove the load from the receptacle when not
in use.
At WOT in level flight, my allegro develops 5600 RPM. This is also about 5100
RPM static.
I hope this is helpful.
Safe flying!

WOT at 5k is too low. It could be over pitched or the engine is producing low
power. You posted before about your engine running rough. Did you solve that
(and what was the issue)? What CHT and EGT temps are you getting under this
condition?

With prop pitch as it is, I'm getting 5000 RPM WOT at 3000 feet. Climbs
at 800 fpm minimum on a hot day with two people and full of fuel. All
temps are in the green; however, CHT creeps slightly into the yellow
with a long, hot-day climb.
Regarding the rough running engine, I have still not solved that issue.
It seems to have smoothed out marginally with additional running hours.
The plane sat unused for one and a half years before I purchased it,
Tuned the engine, including a carb balance, and started running it
again. The previous owner said that this 912 80 HP engine should run
smooth at any RPM. Any ideas would be appreciated.

| Subject: | fuse holder and starting procedure |
| From: | "Dee One" <leblancds(at)cox.net> |
I am looking to replace a missing fuse holder like the one shown in the photo.
Would you happen to know where I can find one of these unique screw-in fuse holder?
Secondly, I'm new to Allegro. I'm having starting issues. When I pulled the prop
through to check the oil and then try to start the engine with the auxiliary
fuel pump on, I believe the engine may be flooded. Conversely, if I try to start
the engine with one half inch joke, auxiliary fuel pump off, and throttle
off, I think it may not be getting enough fuel. I have run down two batteries
so far. What is your recommendation for starting on a warm sunny day, roughly
80 F to 90 F ? (hope the photo is viewable. There is no "posted attachments"
to click on per the instructions)
Thanks for your help,
Dee

Dee,
You maybe able to source the fuse holder you need from Doug Hempstead at Allegro
USA. That's my source for replacement parts.
The starting procedures are somewhat different for a Rotax engine verses a Lycoming
or Continental. I start mine when it's cold by turning on the aux fuel pump
until I have fuel pressure and then turn off the aux fuel pump, engage the
choke fully, throttle to full idle, both ignitions on, and start. Once it's
running smoothly, I disengage the choke slowly and throttle to 2200 RPM for warm
up.
In subsequent starts after the engine is warm I don't have to use the choke.
I wish you luck. Let us know how you do.

Does the engine even attempt to start?
If it isn't firing, don't forget to check the obvious... ignition switche
s on, fuel valve on. Also check that your fuel shutoff knob isn't loose.
The knob is basically a metal rod that runs from the panel to the valve o
n the firewall. Mine once came loose with the fuel valve in the partially
closed position. (which was exciting when the engine started running rou
gh shortly after take off, even though it was getting enough fuel for a 4
,000 RPM runup).

> Regarding the rough running engine, I have still not solved that issue. It seems
to have smoothed out marginally with additional running hours. The plane sat
unused for one and a half years before I purchased it, Tuned the engine, including
a carb balance, and started running it again. The previous owner said
that this 912 80 HP engine should run smooth at any RPM. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I would solve your engine issues before adjusting the prop. If you adjust the
prop, it will only be masking the real problem.

A Rotax should start cleanly and quickly hot or cold. In hot or cold weather.
It's not at all like the aviation engines of old. I've uploaded a video clip
I happen to have when I started my Allegro. It was a cold engine and 83F weather.
You can see the video at: https://youtu.be/mOH_8cDqA30
If your engine isn't starting like this, you have problems.
1. Turn on your electric fuel pump. It can stay on at all times. Rotax now specifically
states you should always have it on. To be clear, having the pump
on can't force extra fuel into the carburetors (unless there is a carb issue
such as a leaking needle valve, heavy or mis-adjusted floats).
2. Throttle at idle.
3. Fuel enricher (choke) on.
4. Start engine. Once engine starts, apply small throttle and turn enricher off.
Allow engine to warm up. Below 2,500 RPM until warm.
Idle should be 1,800 RPM.
The carbs on these engines shouldn't really be tweaked and adjusted. You set them
up correctly and they work. If you're changing adjustments all around, something
is way out of wack. I would find a Rotax mechanic to find and correct
your engine issues. Not a regulator A&P or anyone else who doesn't know Rotax
912's.
You can find people at: http://www.rotaxirmt.com
It's possible, it's not carb related. It could be weak spark, but further investigation
requires hands on access.

N456TS,
Thanks for the information. All the work to re-commission this engine
was in fact done by a Rotax-certified mechanic. The starting issue is
not and every- flight issue. I now I have 13 hours flying time on this
plane and have only had a starting issue twice. The first time I had a
starting issue, it was using the procedure that you described below,
with the exception that I burped the engine first. My mechanic(rotax
certified) seems to think I was flooding the carbs; however, I
understand that this should not happen per your input below. Not sure
what's going on yet.
The rough running engine issue ( i.e. between 2200 RPM and 2800 RPM) is
in fact an every- flight issue. Still working on this. Thanks for your
input.

It might be best to find another mechanic to look at it. Not necessarily specific
to your situation, but - not all mechanics are good mechanics.

Good afternoon Doug,
Thanks for this information. Are these tires from Allegro 4 x 6 =93
600; i.e. will they fit in the wheel pants? Are all are all three tires
the same size and rating? Also, is balancing required; if so how is it
done, dynamic, static, etc.?
On another subject, after seven months, got the 912 working very
smoothly. Even though the carburetors were rebuilt, we still had plugage
of some sort. Rebuilt them again and soaked them this time. Running
great now.

Update on rough running engine. After two mechanics diagnosing the
engine on several occasions, finally got the engine running correctly.
The problem was in the carburetors. Even though we had both carburetors
rebuild in February, they apparently were not correctly cleaned. Debris
or build up in the very small orifices and/or jets was causing the
problem. Had the carburetors rebuilt again, this time with thorough
cleaning, and now the engine runs great. Took seven months to solve this
issue; but learn from it.

November!
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are over 24 different gifts
to choose from! There's something for everyone, to be sure. Most all of
these gifts have been provided by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll
find on the Matronics Lists and they have been either donated or provided
at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous members include:
Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
Corbin Glowacki of My Pilot Store http://www.mypilotstore.com
George Race of Race Consulting http://www.mrrace.com/
Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP http://www.homebuilthelp.com
These are very generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective web
sites. Each one offers a unique and excellent aviation-related product line.
I would like publicly to thank Andy, Bob, Corbin, George, and Jon their generous
support of the Lists again this year!!
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!

There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement

| Subject: | What's Your Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some point, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for the over 23 years of on-line
archive data always available for instant search and access. And, it offsets
the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications
that power these List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums,
and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables all these aspects of Matronics List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of

of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation

Please take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of Contributors

at least as valuable a building / entertainment tool as your typical magazine
subscription!

If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least
that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get
a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to
think of it, you do... :-)

Gentlemen,
I am replacing the 912 UL engine fuel lines on my Allegro 2000. I notice
that there are two fuel restrictors in two outlets of the nec-t-5 fuel
distributor. One is for the vent line going back to the main fuel tank,
and the other is for the line going to the fuel pressure gauge on the
instrument panel. My question is are these restrictors the same size
(i.e. does it make any difference which line is connected to them)? Are
these connections interchangeable?

Hello, I have been having black flakes of what looks like the coating inside the

I was wondering if there is an opening (other than the fuel fill) on top of the
tank that would allow a cleaning and re coating of the fuel tank interior?

Bill,
Another good question. Yes, you can remove the center console. Underneath
there is the fuel sending unit. It is held in place by four set-in bolts.
Remove the nuts and the entire white unit can be removed...take care to not
bend the float rod and float when you remove it. This gives another larger
hole for access. In addition, you will want to remove the fuel feed line
going to the flooring under the front floor boards. When you remove this,
the entire rod insert and attached strainer will come out as well. In
addition, you will want to remove the bottom fuel drain plug, then coat both
the bottom and fuel feed threads that remain in the tank with a grease to
prevent slosh coating "fowling" the threads. Please let me know if you need
additional information.

without corrode a dot, graphical grain is suitable.
Real wood floor still should detect further its machine quality: Exterior treatment

Among them, should special detect the moisture content of lumber, the floor with

The emergence of cottage on the market for formal brand enterprises, especially as well-known wooden doors that focus on fashion design and innovative enterprise, causing serious damage to interests. Cottage doors can be roughly divided into plagiarism design of the "no-name" products and low-quality counterfeit "counterfeit" products.

Would anyone be interested in an Allegro Fly-In? I was thinking at BQ1 for Pik-n-Pig
(Carthage, NC). I know there's not too many Allegro owners which know
about this forum. If there is interest, I can send out postcards about the Fly-In
and to let everyone know about this forum. More communication between Allegro
owners can only be a good thing.

Brian, I am in Colorado, near Colorado Springs. A western fly in would be cool
also, but from the looks of the FAA Aircraft Registry it looks like the majority
of Allegros are back east.

Yea, most Allegros are on on the east coast. Really, most are in North Carolina.
I count 16 in NC. Regionally (NC, VA, SC), there are 22 Allegros registered.
38.6% of the US Allegros. So, I guess shoot for a date in a month or two?
A Saturday, I would assume... Maybe a rain-check date for the following Saturday?
Thoughts?
To keep things simple, I have set up "Allegroforum" dot com. Right now there is
just a place holder. It can be used as an easy way to be redirected to this
forum and a central static posting of any fly-ins. I've also setup info and
rsvp emails.
For the west coast, there are not too many Allegros. But, in Page, AZ, there will
be a light sport fly-in on Oct 11-15, 2017. I've never been. It's mostly
Flight Design aircraft, but I'm told all it welcome.

I've got the postcards ready to print, web page up, and a date set. If anything
needs to be changed, the next 12 hours is when that needs to be done. If anyone
discovers a concern, please let me know asap. I'm printing the postcards
Sunday evening and mailing them on Monday.
- The Fly-in -
Enjoy some of the best Bar-B-Que in the south at the 2017 Allegro LSA Fly-In. Come
fly in and meet other Allegro owners.
On the field is the Pik-N-Pig restaurant
Be prepared, they only accept cash, or NC check.
When: May 6, 2017 starting at 11:00 AM. (Bad weather contingent: May 13, 2017)
Where: BQ1 - Gilliam - McConnell Airfield, Carthage, NC
Any questions, or if you're planning on attending, please RSVP via e-mail or phone.
rsvp(at)AllegroForum.com | Phone: (919) 533-7622
On Allegroforum.com, there's more data available. It's a basic page - I'm not
a web developer. The postcards will have that web address listed. There is a
link on the web page which takes you to this forum. After we're past the fly-in,
the web site will just become a direct forward to this forum. Using it is
a lot easier to find and remember, then the full Matronics link.
I hope several of you can make it and I hope we get more Allegro owners posting
here shortly!

The weather is going to be worse then expected.
It looks like BQ1 will be fully in rain at 11 AM. My airport is already under

someone shows up.
Maybe try again next Saturday? If it works out - Great. If not, oh well.

I'm not really a competent mechanic. With low or no sales lately and the way B-Bar-D

| Subject: | Re: Maintenance concerns |
| From: | "N456TS" <bottleworksnet(at)gmail.com> |
First off, if you're not a mechanic, then you shouldn't be working on anything
despite having or lacking factory support. It's important to have someone else
handle that for you. So many failures are rooted improper maintenance.
At this time, LSA America (Allegro) does still exist.
But let's assume they disappear and no one is willing, or able, to provide the
factory support required by the FAA. If you have an E-LSA, nothing happens.
If you have an S-LSA, you will be forced to convert to E-LSA at your expense.
When that is complete, you can fly again.
Service -
The Rotax 912 engine is a standard and very popular engine. Rotax parts and service
are independent of the airframe. There are 3 main distributors in the US
and plenty of folks who can work on them. But make sure they really do know
how to work on them. It's closer to a 90's era automotive engine, then an aircraft
engine. Very simple engines.
Prop: It's a Woodcomp Klassic 160. SportAir USA is the US dealer.
Avionics/general bits... It's all off the shelf parts. If you have a Dynon, you
contact them, etc. Need fuel line, Aircraft Spruce has it. Really, they have
virtually everything you need. ELT, tires, brakes...same thing and so on.
In this scenario, the airplane is an experimental. You can change anything
you need to. For example, if you simply can't find a replacement gascolator,
you can swap it out for a more common one. The older flap motor setup is...interesting,
but switches can be sourced and I believe the motor is a wiper motor?
The newer flap motor is a linear actuator commercially available (I'd have
to lookup the P/N again). The motor controller is available on eBay and Northern
Tool.
The final issue is the airframe itself and that's where it gets harder.
Say you damage a main gear leg. That's a fully custom part. Aircraft Spruce can't
help you with that. They are/were at one point made by Composit Airplanes
in Czech Republic (compositairplanes.cz). They might be willing to produce
it and send it to you directly. If they're unable or unwilling, the part can
be made. It will just cost a lot more and you have to find someone willing to
put the time into to make a correct copy with the internal rubber and correct
layering. Then on to the hull itself. For the most part, you can repair composite
pretty well. You just need someone who knows how to do it correctly.
If you damage metal, once again, usually pretty easy to repair with the right
know how. The key is finding someone with the right skill sets.
But with all that said, LSA America is still alive and hopefully won't be going
anywhere. I hope this answers some questions. It's 2:30 AM, so some of this
may not make sense.
Do you recall the tail number of the Allegro you flew with Ross?

Thanks for the advice. I flew with Ross in 192AW, the 2000 model.
I have no intention of attempting my own maintenance, other than simple things
like oil change, but wanted to make sure parts & service are available. I'm in
Columbia SC, and my brother lives in Roxboro NC, not too far from Littleton.
I drove up 3 hours to fly with Ross, to get past a problem with flare on landing.
Helped a lot. I'm training in a taildragger, 1946 Aeronca Champ, adverse
yaw is almost identical to the Allegro. Flying & landing the Allegro seemed felt
natural.
I want to get my certificate though before I buy anything. Right now training
is on hold while my wife is being treated for cancer. She's my only priority
until she recovers.

| Subject: | Flap Position #2 |
| From: | "Bill Crowley" <bill80132(at)msn.com> |
Hello, I purchased my Allegro 2000 to learn to fly in it, and have enjoyed every
minute of it! However, as I live in Colorado I have had very little interaction
with the other Allegro owners. My CFI generally trains in a Piper Cherokee
and has had no previous experience in light sport aircraft.
Everything is coming along fine, but my CFI is a bit hesitant about using flap
position #2. I would appreciate any input from other Allegro pilots about landing
with flaps in position #2. What speeds do you maintain on approach, do you
use position #2 in headwinds and/or crosswinds? What other advice do you have
for mastering this amount of flaps?
Thank you
Bill

I also learned to fly in an allegro 2000. My flight instructor was just the opposite
everything was full flap, stall it in landings.
I found it extremely difficult to land as the plane being so light It had absolutely
no inertia at landing and your control inputs did little.
After hours and hours and hours I finally got to where I could land that way. But
was never comfortable with it. I then started reading on a CT forum about landing
with minimum flaps and about 2500 to 2800 rpm and my landings became much
more consistently Smooth. After you get very comfortable with one flap landings
then I would move on to two flaps that you might use in very short field
and emergency situations. Talk about putting out the barn doors with position
number two.. I still approach at about 60 mph but the angle to maintain the speed
is severe.. it makes the flare and round out extremely difficult. But it certainly
will land in a very short distance. As an emergency procedure you should
become comfortable with doing it but I would not recommend it as routine.

Hi.
I've attached the Allegro flight training supplement out of my POH. I hope it
can help. It's 26 pages in total. Due to the attachment limitations here, I've
broken it up into 4 PDFs.
You should be able to land well with no flaps, #1 flaps, and #2 flaps before you
meet a DPE. You'll see me landing with full flaps quite a bit. In fact, if
you're not good at landing with full flaps, an engine out situation will be difficult.
So, don't allow the CFI to skimp on teaching every aspect of the Allegro.
It's for your benefit and safety. Ideally, being able to dead stick every
landing (As the situation allows).
Attached is PDF #1 of 4 (Allegro Training Supplement 1to7.pdf)
Attached is PDF #2 of 4 (Allegro Training Supplement 8to14.pdf)
Attached is PDF #3 of 4 (Allegro Training Supplement 15to20.pdf)

Hi Doug.
I have been looking into the tank liner made by Bill Hirsch. It appears that their
liner is white in color. The inside of my tank is red. This leaves me unsure
of what is/isn't in that fuel tank. Did my tank not get coated when it
was built?

Bradley,
Thank you for your note. ALL Allegro fuel tanks are coated, including
N456TS. I will go back to the records to check exactly which coating was
used. I can say that ALL our fuel tank coatings were resistant to ethanol
AND were fully capable of handling up to 10% ethanol fuel.
We are in process of sending out a service bulletin for non-ethanol fuels.
We have found that non-ethanol fuels are not regulated as to additives. In
some cases MEK is used as an additive. MEK, over time, CAN break down the
coating and attached the composites. The service bulletin will require
either NOT using non-ethanol fuels, or KNOWING there is no MEK used in the
additives.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Doug

It may not be the exciting news you were hoping for but 826DQ is actually an 06
Allegro 2000. It was originally 336FA. We had Doug convert it to ELSA when we
purchased it and as a result it got a new N number and Airworthiness cert.

did you choose to change to E-LSA? Any chance you were at Johnson Regional on

So, Doug was willing to do the paperwork to get it changed to an E-LSA? That

That's right, it was EAB. They built it at the factory as the first Allegro built
in USA but was EAB because LSA didn't exist yet. They were able to convert
it because it was "factory built" by Doug, Betty and the Czech team.
ELSA allows me to do the anything I like maintenance and modification wise as well
as condition inspection with my LSA Repairman cert.
Today we rebuilt the nose strut and clearances the bushings as many on this forum

FYI, there is a new AD coming out on Ameri-King ELTs. I suspect every Allegro
is effected.
The executive summary is that Ameri-King ELTs are bottom of the barrel junk (I
suspect everyone here already has first hand experience with this). The FAA is
now addressing the low quality and high failure rates of their ELTs. The AD
becomes effective Oct 24, 2017. You have 12 months to conform. Basically, they
want to make sure it's still working and if not, get corrected. So, nothing
too exciting.
To have a reliable ELT, maybe an ACK E-04 would be a good alternative (for experimentals)?...
S-LSAs would require an LOA.

Hi.
An LOA is a Letter of Authority. For S-LSAs any modification or repair which is
NOT written in the aircraft manuals, OR a method acceptable to the administrator
(procedures in AC 43-13, on-condition inspections, etc) require an LOA from
the manufacturer.
In the example of the ACK E-04, it's a pretty different setup compared to the Ameri-King.
It requires ship power. It's connected to the aircraft's GPS for
precise location search. I believe its physical size is different, which will
require consideration. It also uses a different mounting bracket. If its weight
is different (I would suspect so), it will require a new weight and balance.
So, it's not a drop-in upgrade/replacement.

Allegro is now LSA America & doing well. Main phone 252-586-1200.
Per Doug Hempstead, President, no LOA is needed to change common
components like ELT, radio, etc. AD allows to test your Ameri King unit
& no need to replace if it works properly.

Hi.
An LOA would definitely be required to change ELT type. Per FAA. A simple replacement
of same type, no LOA needed. I don't know if Doug has ever considered
releasing an LOA for the ACK E-04. You can't buy Ameri-King ELTs anymore.
The FAA has shutdown their sales and revoked their TSO. So, if an Allegro was
built today, it won't ship with an Ameri-King ELT.

Jim,
Thank you for your note. Yes, we are still going and send parts around
the world for Allegro aircraft. If this is in regard to the Ameri-King,
the bulletin only requires the ELT to be tested to insure it is working.
If it needs to be replaced, the owner/operator is allowed to do this
with any battery operated ELT, and, providing they check to insure the
aircraft is not pulling more power than the Rotax engine can produce,
may also use a direct power replacement. If you need any other parts,
please contact us at the number below, or email.
Best regards,
Doug

| Subject: | Allegro 2000 - Front Gear Wheel Bearing Replacement |
Gentlemen,
I found that I needed to replace the two wheel bearings in the front
landing gear wheel of my Allegro 2000. The ball bearings were running
rough. The rim is a split rim so I removed the six bolts and the tire
itself. I am working with the half of the rim containing the two
bearings. I tried to press out the bearings but they would not budge.
That may have been a mistake. Now I am not sure how to removed the
bearings. Attached is my cross section sketch of what I think is the
bearing housing. There may be a bearing seat behind each bearing that
fixes the position of each bearing. If so, you can=99t visually
see it. I also don=99t know why there is a loose sleeve for the
axel between the two bearings? Has anyone ever had to remove or replace
the front wheel bearings on an Allegro 2000? If so, how is it done?
Also, is the wheel itself cast aluminum or steel?

It appears we might have different wheels, so I can't help much. Mine are Matco
with 1630-2RS bearings. You split the wheel and push the bearings from the
inside out. Being that you have snap rings retaining the bearings, I would suspect
that is the exit path for the bearing. It should come out with no issue
using a small arbor press.

I replaced the main gear wheel bearing last year. Both the mains and the nose
wheel are the same and the bearings are the same. There was no need to dismount
the tire or split the rim. I simply removed the snap rings and using a small
brass drift, drove the bearing out from the opposite side.
To install the replacement bearing, place the wheel on a flat surface, position
the bearing and drive it in until seated with a socket that is slightly smaller
that the bearing bore. Once fully seated reinstall the snap ring. And your
good to go.

Interesting. You've got sealed bearings on the main axles? On the mains, I've
got tapered bearings which you preload and grease the same as automotive applications.
On the front are standard 1630 sealed bearings. Any idea what diameter
axles are on your Allegro? Mine has 3/4" for the front, but I believe the
mains are larger. I would guess 1" shafts, but I would have to measure to confirm.

N456TS,
All of the wheel bearings on my Allegro 2000 are the same. They are sealed
radial ball bearings having the following dimensions:
Bearing O.D. = 42 mm
Bearing I.D. = 20 mm = shaft O.D.
Bearing width = 12 mm
The bearings can be found on line at www.thebigbearingstore.com
they are specified as 6004-ZZ

November!
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are 9 great gifts to choose
from! There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including

| Subject: | A List Contribution - It's Your Personal Squelch Button... |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor
List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund Raiser messages for the rest
of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the
commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep
the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the
Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control
and monitor every aspect
of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution
matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it
pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising
dollars for the
Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials
that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want
to have it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

| Subject: | What's Your Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some point, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for the over 23 years of on-line
archive data always available for instant search and access. And, it offsets
the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications
that power these List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums,
and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables all these aspects of Matronics List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of
the best investments you can make in your Sport!

If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some
magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least that much to you?
Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get a well-managed media
source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to think of it, you do...

I have an Allegro 2000 with a 912UL 80 HP engine.
The operators manual suggests premium auto gas, which is what I have used almost
exclusively. Prior to my recent annual inspection I was burning on average
two gallons of fuel per hour. During the annual I had the carbs rebuilt and did
the ROTAX 5 year rubber replacement. Now I am averaging 1.775 gallons of fuel
per hour.
Am I extremely fortunate or is this normal for the little bird?

Scott,
If your numbers are correct you are indeed fortunate. I am in North Carolina
and have an Allegro 2000 ELS (N661WW) with almost 800 hours on my Rotax 912
UL 80 HP engine. I built the airplane from the Kit ten years ago. I have
been the sole owner and I keep my carbs pneumatically balanced. The best
average fuel consumption I have ever gotten was 3.0 gph. At the present my
fuel consumption is averaging 3.6 gph. I burn exclusively ethanol free auto
fuel (MOGAS) either 90 octane or 87 octane. Where are you located Scott?

I typically cruise between 98 - 105 MPH.
Since getting out of annual, I have only been able to fly about five hours.
As I fly more I will be sure to monitor very closely. Not unhappy with being able
to fly for less than six bucks an hour!
I am based out of KCJR, Culpeper, VA.

I thought I should post a couple photos of wing removal. The maintenance manual
is light on tips and techniques. It quickly became clear that trying to remove
a wing with a couple people holding it, is guaranteed damage to the wing and
mounts. I ended up making some gantries for wing removal and installation.
This give complete control of wing support and angle. It greatly reduces the
risk of bending something. You can then slowly, and calmly lower or raise the
wing with the straps.

Hi.
Does anyone store their Allegro outdoors? Do you cover your horizontal stab to
protect against rain? Does your hull have a drain for water getting into the
tail section?

Just to follow up on this, the flap bellows are generic shock boots that are cut

Apparently, my 2006 Allegro 2000 should have been grounded for a propeller overhaul
as of 2012. The Woodcomp Klassic 160 has a 6 year/ 950 hour TBO.
Anyone have a U.S. source for overhaul? Is there an alternate prop that has a better

Hi Isvance 54,
I fly an Allegro 2000 E-LSA with a Woodcomp Klassic 160/3/R. In Sept. of 20
16 I had an engine loss of coolant incident that required me to replace the
cylinder heads. Around that same time I was made aware of the Woodcomp Ser
vice Bulletin 02/2012 EN dated Nov 8 2012. Up until then I had no idea that
Woodcomp had issued a service bulletin. At that time I had 700 Hours on th
e original Woodcomp propeller and my airplane and the propeller was 10 year
s old. The closest Authorized Woodcomp Testing Facility to me was Sportair
USA LC in North Little Rock, AR. I contacted them and they told me that bec
ause of the age of the propeller and their experience it was most likely my
propeller would fail the testing and they recommended I purchase a new pro
peller. I ask if I could just purchase the blades and re-use the hub. They
said no because of the slight changes in the new blades. I ended up having
to purchase new blades, hub and bolts ($1200.00)
You can contact them at:

As you know, you're NOT limited to specific age requirements. It can be evaluated
on-condition and signed off by you.

I refer you to the Willette letter. As you might know, the FAA legal
department interprets their regulations. This interpretation become
the FAA's official position on a subject unless the FAA is taken to
court and a judge disagrees.
The short of it is that the FAA is always above the manufacturer. The manufacturer
can't over-extend their authority. They also can't stop you from using alternative
methods acceptable to the administrator, such as on-condition inspection.
I've attached the letter.
Doug will also refer you to the same.
You can perform an on-condition inspection on an S-LSA and an E-LSA. This is a
practice acceptable to the administrator and is absolutely the norm. I've worked
on several Allegros. I don't believe any of them had replaced their prop
simply due to the bulletin.
Best regards,
Bradley Pearce

Scott, I did not get an official quote. After I told them the age of the pr
opeller and the number of hours I was told that they were sure it would fai

for flight? Is the plane an E-LSA or a SLSA? How many hours on the engine
and airframe? Hope I am not getting too nosey! Contact me directly at hgmck

| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List 2018 Fund Raiser During |
November!
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are 9 great gifts to choose
from! There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a Credit Card, PayPal, or by Personal Check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, Commercial-greade
Internet Connection, air conditioning, maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc.
I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser each year during the month of November
where I simply send out a short email every other day asking the members to make
a small contribution to support the operation. That being said, that contribution
is completely voluntary and non-compulsory. Many members choose not
to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have

worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least
that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get
a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to

There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | What's My Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
Some have asked, "What's my Contribution used for?" and that's a good question.
Here are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables. It provides
for the very expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the
List insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when accessing List
services. It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling
the highest performance possible for services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and Forums. It pays for narly 30 years (yeah, I really said
*30* years) worth of online archive data available for instant random search
and access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining
the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List
Browse, Search Engine, Forums, and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses. How many places
on the Internet can you make all those statements these days? It is YOUR
CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many aspects of these valuable List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of the
best investments you can make in your Sport...

Top Choices of Runescape Kindred Spirits
Sometimes it is a pastime, but in different instances, an effort to create a language
could have more purpose. It didn't train me in DNA analysis because the
one thing I know is that you use tweezers to set a DNA covered item in a tube
and after that you put the tube in a machine which spins. My 2nd effort at
some more serious kinds of writing.
Connecting control points with black boxes to fix problems in the least expensive
possible way is but one of many to drop charge of the development approach.
In the procedure for providing information they want, you might earn a large
and valuable connection. This method allows different connections to happen.
Now the issue is over sharing. They try to get rid of the tardy version of myself.
Here are 8 signs you may be experiencing this sort of connection.
OSRS Gold For Sale (https://www.rsmalls.com/osrs-gold) Kindred Spirits: No Longer a Mystery
At times, should you need something strongly, you should stand up, make your point
allow it to hit the correct ears. You won't often disagree with one another
about the things which matter most to you. Even through the distance two
friends can stay attuned to one another and continue to sense the stream of one
another's lives.
Kindred relationships aren't very common, or if they're, you don't seem to understand
much about them or do not understand that you have on with someone. It's
a location for passion. Only somebody who has lived through a similar experience
as yourself can comprehend the emotions you're going through.
Kaleidosoul is an excellent complement to the SoulCollage site. You will get
some Dragonkin food. It has grown too large and its products are now too integrated
and too complex to control.
If you leave the region by any means, it's going to be completely reset when returning.
If you own a gift or gifts that you want to donate, please get in touch
with us by utilizing the Contact button on the menu bar at the very top of
this screen. A prime illustration is self-driving vehicles.
This isn't a new or distinctive approach to comedy, although it quite much is a
subject for individual taste. Locate the centre and choose which road Ahrim
ought to go. But in addition, it is true that some performances and characters
are nowadays getting lost in the mix consequently.
New Step by Step Roadmap for Runescape Kindred Spirits
There are particular ways you'll be able to learn about who your kindred spirits
are. So they often come in some very different outside packaging. It is a
person who shares a special bond with you a magnetism that draws both of you
onto a higher level of consciousness.
Let's look at the excellent meaning supporting the phrase and explore the way you
can find yours. The Academy intends to be a community of kindred spirits throughout
the world brought together for the very very first time.
You've constructed this fantastic supply of wisdom and inspiration that's enjoyed
by, and impacts on, people all over the world. The very best thing about kindred
spirit love is they can teach you a good deal about yourself and your relationships
with different folks. Occasionally it can be exceedingly hard to
feel this way right after we see as much pain, hurt and anger on earth, however
the notion of the kindred spirit acknowledges that we are all the exact same,
we are all working with the very same time and space dimensions and we are
completely enjoying the energy that's Earth.
Life After Runescape Kindred Spirits
Man's best friend isn't a quote to be dismissed. Lynch's work gave me what I
was trying to find, but it happened because I was searching for it. John Oliver
pointed out our complacency to the growth of Authoritarianism all around the
world in the most recent installment of Last Week Tonight.
I were left standing. Dharok tells you that he wishes to escape the pit, because
he wishes to quit fighting. You are going to have fake fight, where nothing
will occur.
All my work is of the peak Love and Light. It's great to actually not only find
a company that truly walk the talk, but to be part of one. The Gunshoes is
not going to enable you to quit moving for as long since they are active.
We are presently a strong, vibrant company and Healing Center. Today you should
save yourself the Barrows Brothers. Individuals should do whatever they would
like to do.
Lots of people leave no name even though others include their very first and last.
Some folks really are here in order to teach us patience when we would like
to walk away. Hopefully governments and planning committees will quit spending
money on organizing, not as much producingthis garbage inside this future.
A massive contributing element to this, is the simple fact there aren't many Muslims
in the area of entertainment or Digital Media as it is. Your state laws
may need you to disclose that pets live in the house, but you aren't required
to display them. As soon as you put the order, our professional gamers will
help you become over all the difficulties you encounter.
Most Noticeable Runescape Kindred Spirits
If you are at present wearing Tier 21 gear, it is better to permit the quest rewards
significantly beat your current item level before using them. A particular
quest points is necessary in some quests' completion, if your account isn't
eligible for the demands of the quest you've purchased, we'll cancel the purchase
and issue full refund immediately! Whoever completes the birthday quests
will acquire a distinctive party set and part of the holiday collection.
Obviously, to finish this game, you need to go through all Sliske quest collection.
2D features finally have all 3 dimensions. When leveling up, you always
ought to pick the bit of loot with the maximum item level.

| Subject: | The Fight Against Maplestory 2 Beta Keys |
| From: | "gaosuo1234" <zfang0898(at)gmail.com> |
What is Truly Going on with Maplestory 2 Beta Keys
In addition, the game features the 3D mode, so there's no manner which you are
not likely to try out this one. A class is a required element in the game.
The telephone game show in monochrome color such as this fantastic ol' Snake.
With a typical MMORPG play, LaTale makes it possible for you to learn more about
the game world just by controlling your character from your keyboard and mouse.
MapleStory DS isn't going to be an MMORPG at all. MyGamePrice offers a kind
of games including MapleStory 2 Steam CD key less expensive than STEAM platform
can provide.
The Pain of Maplestory 2 Beta Keys
Lots of new players are given the incorrect impression that Shatter is about taking
down the huge ice. It doesn't get hit by an enemy attack while it's activated.
So Knights dodging attacks isn't really an issue and can survive OHKO
attacks so the majority of the time they can be concerned about attacking.
Can be utilised to launch, add 8 points, so long as you hit the opponent is going
to be taken far away, the damage brought on by the three paragraphs is extremely
scary. The swapping lets you change your character during the play and
use their specific attack types with the assistance of various attack combos.
You may not agree with the build, but it is an amazing approach to view how to
create a course.
It's necessary to assign tasks ahead. MapleStory 2 fixes this problem by providing
you a large old house so that you may craft your very own little corner
of the game. If you open the invincible at the exact same time, it's going to
be rather embarrassing.
For one of the absolute most component, they could be learning tools for newbies
to ease them in the game. Make sure to read all the patch notes in the event
you've been playing before launch, it's a bigger patch than you could imagine.
A History of Maplestory 2 Beta Keys Refuted
Priest's PVP isn't to add blood, yet to play as a battle Priest, and that means
you must give up the healing abilities. Priest PK isn't particularly flexible,
so it's very frightened of a wide array of skills or a particularly strong
career, so PK should play a show, seduce the other party to produce mistakes.
He has the most comprehensive gain BUFF and various blood returning skills in
Maplestory 2.
Taking into account the outcomes are obvious, we will discount the archetype builds.
You're able to control a single character at one time with swapping abilities.
It's not suggested to bring this skill.
However, the combat process is straightforward. Many sites provide free speed
testing. Second, The defense penetration home is certainly the second decision
and could enhance its output.
There are many elements to be sure it is perfect for their age. This class has
high DPS, higher survivability, and it's a level therapy. They are unavailable
in a variety of regions.
The ice IS crucial, yes, but it isn't the one and only way you may score points
for your team. As it's a MMO so that it is sometimes a fantastic place to play
with your pals and find out how good you're. Players have the ability to
create many characters in every single world, although the characters in various
worlds cannot interact with one another.
Here's What I Know About Maplestory 2 Beta Keys
Epaulettes, Double Slot products, and Cores are all items that could be sold in
your own personal store for large quantities of Alz. MapleStory DS won't support
WiFi. There are scores and scores of different titles out there for various
smartphone platforms.
You may now log into the multiplayer server and join different people in-game.
There are hundreds and hundreds of people who would love to have the ability
to play Maplestory, individuals that would be in a position to contribute and
enrich the growing Maplestory community. In the event the seller isn't able to
finish your order due to out of stock, you can ask for a refund and we'll process
your request and finish the refund.
The Benefits of MS2 Mesos (https://www.mmoko.com/maplestory2-mesos) Beta Keys
Moreover, you get an established bonus if you take advantage of all the jewels
of the exact same color and rank. Needless to say, it's best to have the gear.
When you're level 50, you might go do all of the level 50 dailies that are
readily available to you.
The Hidden Treasure of Maplestory 2 Beta Keys
If you have each of those questions in your thoughts, you have arrived at the
proper place. Let's have a peek at a number of the greatest possible alternatives
to MapleStory. However much it is possible to sell, you can make a little!
If you would like to grab MapleStory M the moment it launches, go right ahead
and pre-register for it on Google Play. Customization is an important feature,
permitting you to modify the visual design of your player and lots of game elements
such as items. Berserker Build Guide Runeblade is the latest Maplestory
two class.
The debuff was renamed to Limp but the result is still the exact same. In the
event that you are ready to remain away from the enemy, you will be in a position
to utilize Elemental Potency in reverse. The attack speed attribute is extremely
high for the Heavy Gunner in the present edition.
Celestial Guardian has the capability to point out the essential front-end since
it is a single element. In the present edition, it only has this result. Lock
On skill popular on Bosses doesn't have a high effect.
