Of course you 'd want a firm quote first. I've seen a huge price range in my area betwe en different shops. If you could find an actual Allegro wheel pant to purchase that'd be even easier, but good luck with that. It'd at least be worth calling B Bar D to see if they have one to sell you. (I've been waiting a year for a wing -tip light cover) The Aircraft Spruce route may be more work than you really want, unless t he wheel pant is nearly identical. Most likely you'd have to buy two (so they match) then do a lot of trimming and fitting on two pants, instead o f just getting one repaired. And they'd both need painting. One other possibility is if Thom Riddle still has the wheel pants that we re on the Rans S6S I traded him for my Allegro. (The S6S is no longer, bu t the wheel pants might be sitting somewhere). Thom? Good Luck Hugh.

I now have to decide if it is worth fixing, ( 2 photos attached) or if I can find another set of Allegro wheel pants here in the states, try to see if the wheel pants off ered by Aircraft spruce will fit, or just forget the idea of having wheel pants. I am at a turf field, so wheel pants take a beating anyway. Any w ay, short of trying to get a set or just one from Fantasy Air (which may be impossible now) anyone out there have extra wheel pants for an Allegro 2000? Suggestions? Hugh G. McKay III, P.E.

They have many parts now for both Allegro 2000 & 2007, including the wing tip covers. I'd look at both options on your pants. Doug's phone is Work 919-775-2224 Cell 336-202-1585 I make it part of my pre-flight inspection to check the outside wing pant bolt & shake the pant as my bolt did loosen up once. My current project is working with Mikrotechna who made the original ASI & stall warning system to figure out how to analyze & adjust all 3 components, ASI, pressure switch, & sounding board. I'll keep you posted.
