They will hold. As an example, w e were at Sun-n-Fun a few years back when storms and tornado came through a nd cause havoc with the airplanes there. Our three Allegros suffered no da mage when aircraft next to us were flipped up-side down. As to the pitot tube on the early Fantasy Air 2007 models, there were put o n the rear of the fuselage close to the horizontal stabilizer. THe idea wa s to put it somewhere it could not be "bumped" into and cause damage. Howe ver, is some cases when the angle is just right, the pitot will allow for i naccurate readings of the ASI. After we bought FAntasy Air and moved produ ction here to the USA, we changed it back to the right side strut cover. We have since then changed over to much heavier duty pitot tube and put it into the right wing, which allows both a better and stronger position, but also allows for AOA. The Fantasy Air built 2007 models can change over to the strut pitot config uration if they so desire. This is not mandatory. Please contact LSA Amer ica, inc.for additional information on changing out the pitot.

I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with given your experience. 1) I am amazed at the flimsy little hook under the wing apparently to be use for a tiedown?? It is held onto the bottom of the wing by two small rivets. I am thinking that this is possibly not intended for the tiedown. About 8 to 10 inches outboard of this fixture is a threaded hole which is roughly 3/16" ID. I wonder if this threaded hole is intended to accept an eye bolt to be used for a tiedown. Please let me know if you have any experience with this issue. 2) My second question is related to the air speed pitot tube. My pitot tube Is located on the top of the vertical stabilizer. This location experiences wild gyrations in airspeed on final approach. I noticed in the 2007 Allegro literature that their airspeed pitot is located beneath the outboard right wing. I wonder if this change in pitot location from the tail to the right-wing was necessitated due to these gyrations in airspeed indications. Please let me know if you have any experience with this issue.
