 |
|
Greetings,
I am new to the Allegro aircraft and have an Allegro 2007. 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.
Thanks for all your help, Dee LeBlanc

Hello.
Mine is a little different then your Allegro, so this might not directly apply. The tie down hooks on mine were tested earlier this week. It held the aircraft in a storm which continued on to make a tornado and damage homes. My Allegro is in an open t-hangar with partial protection from the wind. IIRC, the weather station reported 40 mph winds before it was knocked offline. The wind was strong enough to rip both gust-lock pucks off the wings....I didn't think that was possible. The tie down hooks did just fine. My first impression of them was similar to yours, however, I believe it's an unfounded concern.
My pitot tube isn't located in the same spot, so I can't help you there. I've seen them in a couple different spots. It seems the Allegro fleet varies. Mine is #2 built in the US by LSA America and I know its pitot tube is different then some of the ones built afterwards. Perhaps Doug can help you with that on Monday.
