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,
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.
