| Subject: | Wheel Bearing Nut Size |
I've ordered new tires from Desser and am preparing to put them on. My question
is, does anyone on the forum know the size of the wheel bearing nut so that
I can buy the correct wrench?
Thanks,
Larry Edson

I'm owner of an Allegro 2000, N# 4355V.
An article in "Flying" says that because the mfgr. is out of business, the A/C
can't be legally flown. Is that correct?
What are my options? (I have about 17 hours solo but haven't
got my license yet.)
Thanks,
Britt Frye

Yes, it's true that Fantasy Air went out of business. But all of the
manufacturing rights now belong to B Bar D Aviation in Stanford, NC. I
was told that they are starting to manufacture in Roseburg, OR this
month as Allegro USA, LLC and will have the first of the completely US
manufactured aircraft for display at Air Venture. I had concerns that
we wouldn't be able to get repair parts now, but I was assured by Doug
Hempstead that that wouldn't be a problem.
So I would say that there is no problem with you flying your airplane
because it is not an orphan.
Take Care,
Larry

I as well have stiff rudders. Can you tell me what you machined down? Was it the
sleeve or the collar? And did you take the material off the top or the bottom?
Thanks,
Larry

With the tail tied down and the steering link rod removed, the nosewheel should
rotate with just a slight drag from the bearings. On my aircraft (Dec 2006) the
rudders were STIFF.
>From memory, I machined down the top of the sleeve and slipped long bolts thru
the rivet holes to check the clearance before rivetting the sleeve in place.
I am sure you know already but the nosewheel has 3 grease nipples.
Regards
Paul

It is a large castellated nut with a cotter pin. It should be just snug to slip
the cotter pin thru but not tight. A large adjustable wrench with long jaws works
fine. It cannot loosen and tightening it will crush the bearings
