One of the Matronics post was from a Paul (email no longer active) and the text was as follows in 2009 : "When our Allegro 2000 was delivered the rudders were stiff. We found the problem to be the sleeve (the piece with the lubricating nipple in enclosed photo) jamming against the collar above. We machined it down a few thou and the rudders are smooth and light. Paul" I would love to get more detail on how Paul was able to resolve this issue. If anyone has more detail on how to resolve or has contact information for Paul, I would greatly appreciate a response.

I did find out that he was located in Thailand and I believe he was a dealer for Allegros when they were made in the Czech Republic. Doug Hempstead at LSA America may know who he is and how to reach him. Hugh G. McKay III, P.E. Fellow, L.M.
