Hugh,
I've seen the SB too but fortunately for us, our Allegro #03-202 does
not have the extended range wing tanks so it certainly does not apply
to mine. This is a guess but I suspect that the odd assortment of
serial numbers affected is due to the fact that not all Allegros are
equipped with the wing tank option. I know the first two digits of the
S/N are the year of manufacture and am guessing that the last three
numbers are merely sequential numbers for all Allegros or Allegro kits
coming from the factory.
Where are you located? I guess somewhere in the deep south of the USA
due to the BellSouth ISP. I used to live in Atlanta, GA.
Thom in Buffalo

Hugh
Not sure but maybe they listed s/n's of aircraft with tanks fitted.
Whatever the case, if you have the fiberglass tanks, beware. I had the
fiberglass tanks in mine and only a couple of weeks after installing them
they leaked, both sides. I was planning a long flight so filled both tanks
in preparation for departing the following day, a Monday. The next two days
it rained and on returning on the Wednesday found that about 15 litres had
leaked out of the left tank and 5 litres out of the right. The result was
extensive damage to the paint work on the underside of both wings and the
left door was destroyed by the fuel running over it.
I removed the tanks and pressurised them slightly before pouring soapy water
over them. Both thanks had pinhole leaks in them. Fantasy Air have
replaced the tanks with Aluminium tanks which look much better than the
fiberglass ones. I havn't tried them yet as I still need to repaint the
wings. Have just finished replacing the polycarb on the door.
