Roger/Paul:



Sorry, I hit a send button by mistake before finishing my message. Here is

the finished one. 



My Allegro 2000 is an E-LSA so I don't have your paperwork and approval

problem. However, based on how my Allegro is performing I have not yet

decided that I need the VGs. I do know that they improve performance at the

lower speeds, but how much? The Allegro is such a slick plane and it glides

so well, I'm not sure I would put the VGs on. The choice would seem to me to

be a personal one rather than a "major change in performance". I may be

wrong, and am open to the opinion of others.



In my opinion, based on my experience over the past 3 years with Fantasy Air

Czech Republic), as well as the US Distributor, you will have a very

difficult time getting them to do the testing and paperwork to satisfy the

FAA. In fact I personally would not waste my time! I would rather spend it

flying and enjoying life.



Regards,

Hugh McKay

Hi Hugh,



My mistake. I thought your Allegro was SLSA. You are right that you can do anything you want and anybody can work on it.

For the SLSA bunch that needs the approval letter, you do not need them to do any testing. You sign off on the letter that it still falls within SLSA standards. There's a special little statement at the bottom of the document that keeps you honest and it puts any issues in your court not the MFG's. I have 6 of those letters.

The letter has your name, plane ID serial number , N number, the reason for the work, what you did, what parts you used and some pictures. Then the statement at the bottom that the mods will not put you out of the SLSA category. You sign it and the US Mfg stamps it.
