I have an Allegro 2000 that I built from the Quik-Build Kit, and every thing Amy and Dale described happened to me. I will also tell you that I got little to no support from the US Distributer, Fantasy Air USA. Their main interest is in selling finished ready to fly airplanes, not supporting those of us who want to build one from a kit. It took me two years to finish my airplane, and if this forum had not existed I would have been in deep "yogurt", if you know what I mean. The airplane is a wonderful LSA, and I love to fly mine. It's performance is great, and I think it is one of the sharpest looking LSAs out there. Just be prepared to have a lot of frustration during the building process unless Fantasy Air in the Czech Republic has made a lot of changes, and Fantasy Air USA has changed their ways, which I don't believe they have. If you have any questions I can help you with, just email me and I will help you, and I am sure others on this forum will do the same.
