I did sent an email with the same questions to sales@fantasyairusa.com and do hope they will respond to me, being a European Allegro owner. All together I do have an orphanige feeling, related to the reported an experienced lack of support and lack of customer info from Fantasy Air and dealers. The Allegro 2000, I bought one month ago, has a plywood instrument panel. Because of moisture influences (the plane was hangered in a half open shed) the plywood is partly delaminated. I would like to replace the panel bij an aluminum part. If I can't buy a blank, or if this piece of sheetmetal appeares to be very expensive, I want to make one myself. --- What might be the thickness of the designed alu instrument panel? --- Is there somewhere a dimensional drawing available of the blank panel, of which I could get a copy? Thanks for your reply, Theo van Duin ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:37:42 PM PST US From: "Hugh" Subject: RE: Allegro-List: Allegro 2000, instrument panel Theo: I received the blank aluminum panel in my kit. I designed and laid out all of my instruments using an Auto Cad program and had the openings for all the instruments and avionics cut on a laser machine. I still have the drawing. I will look to see if I can give you the panel thickness as well as the outline of the blank panel. If you cannot get enough measurments off of your old panel to duplicate it, I'll try to measure mine. As you will see the top and ends of the panel are a compound curve. I'll get back in touch with you. As a matter of interest, attached are a few pictures of my panel.

There is an Arizona dealer for Allegro on Fantasy Airs web site and there is an arrow that scrolls down to show another 11. I help Lee Ramsdell out at L and L light Sport aviation, the dealer for NY CT and New England states. 3 weeks ago I flew a new Allegro up from Sanford Lee to NY. At that time Doug Hemsted mentioned that they were bringing the manufacturing to the states and that NC was one of 2 spots they were looking at. Planes are still being built and shipped from the Czechs Republic and when the move takes place there will be a 2 week delay in production. All of our parts come through B Bar D.
