I give kit builders a lot of credit for taking on a project like this. I built a Kolb MK3 from 92 to 95 (a bit over 1200 hrs-----somewhat modified). Still flying it. While in the building process the help I got from other builders on the "KOLB LIST" was priceless. As the Allegro is still fairly new to the USA, there are probably a lot of people putting together kits around the world. I would think that using the internet technology and getting a list of builders from the manufacturer, possibly one could get together more builders in a forum such as we have here .(Allegro List). Try not to get too frustrated. The whole building process is more like 2 or 3 steps ahead and 1 back. Keep in mind your goal and remember that the 1st time your bird takes flight, with you at the controls, will be etched into your memory for ever. fly safe Bob Griffin ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:30:15 AM PST US Subject: Allegro-List: Re: wing strut covers From: "John Kepes" found letters (very faint) Looking at the wing end the slot is longer on one side than the other .

You are incorrect concerning the slotted (Forked) end. The forked end (wing end) of the strut tubes is slightly rounded on the "top" side. This is the side that is closest to the wing itself. The "bottom" side is the side you refer to as "longer". Be careful before you drill any holes and rivet the strut covers on the tubes to orient the crimped edge of the cover such that when each strut is placed on the plane the crimped edge is on the underside of the covers. And make sure the cover is pointed in the correct direction for each strut tube. Just take your time, lay out the strut tubes and the covers as they will go on the plane before you start drilling and you should be fine.
