My question is, does anyone on the forum know the size of the wheel bearing nut so that I can buy the correct wrench?

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.)

From: "Larry Edson" 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.

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?

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.

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 Regards Paul Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=250090#250090 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message allegro-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Allegro-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/allegro-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/allegro-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
