    Subject: Re: Carpet in the bottom of the Allegro?
    --> Allegro-List message posted by: Thom Riddle <jtriddle@adelphia.net> Hugh, Since ours is factory built I did not have that problem. BUT because it was factory built I think I can help a bit. I can't see how anyone could not have the floorboard which is fitted forward of the main tank, and is covered with a carpet. It is what the heels of your feet sit on with the balls of the feet on the rudder. How could someone not have this? The carpet that goes over the tank and aft toward the bulkhead, has two openings cut into it for the gear leg structure. The cuts are along the lateral axis of the airplane (across the fuselage). Once cut on each side of the gear leg structural support areas so that the carpet will fit on the bottom of the fuselage both forward and aft of the gear leg structure. Ours is not cut all the way across but rather has two "flaps" cut into it, one for each side of the raised gear leg area. If you will look on the Allegro Forum at an old posting titled "Seat abrading main gear structure - ALERT" my post of Feb 4 has a photo attached that illustrates how the gear leg structure sticks up above the carpet. The carpet is cut in that area to allow for this. I hope this helps. Thom in Buffalo

    --> Allegro-List message posted by: "hgmckay" <hgmckay@bellsouth.net> Guys: Thanks for all the help. I finally bit the bullet and used some common sense (at least I think that is what it was) and started measuring and cut my own pattern. It worked fine. The markings on the back of the carpet for the cutout for the areas where the main gear sriffeners are located were out of proportion and way too far apart. Another black mark for the quality of information and instruction you get from Fantasy Air regarding the Quik Build Kit. I'm well on the way to finishing this upholstering job. Believe me, this is the first and last one (upholstering) I am going to do. Dave, no it is not for the back bulkhead. I already have that carpet installed. Guys, don't quit your day jobs to go into the upholstering business!! Hugh McKay Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=50242#50242
