    Hi Guys, Maybe I can help. What brake system does the Allegro use? The Flight Design CT has bad Italian brakes and they have had the same symptoms as the Allegro. As ours have gone bad we are now switching to Matco brakes. The Italian brakes had half the stopping power, high speed brake fade and you had to pump them. The symptoms start after a while. The Matco's have twice the stopping power and you never have to pump them. They will hold to 5000rpm from a 912uls. I helped get this new brake system on line for the CT and maybe we can do the same for the Allegro. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    Roger, I know the Allegro brakes, at least the ones on our 2003 model, are made in the Czech Republic and believe they are made by Evektor. The Evektor LSA has the same brakes. When they are pumped up they hold very well and have good stopping power. Not enough to lock up and skid the tires but enough so that you don't feel the need for any more power. -------- Thom Riddle N221FA Allegro 2000 912UL N197BG FS1/447 -------------------- Scratch any cynic, he said, and youll find a disappointed idealist.
