Last July we were told that Allegro was going to be manufactured in Oregon under the name of Allegro, LLc.  I've checked the Internet and other than the announcements about Allegro now being manufactured in Roseburg, Oregon there is nothing.  I can't even find an Allegro, LLc website.  I've also looked in the FAA aircraft registration for any new Allegros and can't see that any have been registered.  This leads me to believe that there may not be a company called Allegro LLc like we have been told.  Does anyone our there have any insight into this? 



Thanks,

Larry,



I may be wrong, but I tend to agree with you. I own an Allegro 2000 and have 

over the past few months tried to get information concerning parts for the 

Allegro 2000 out

of B bar D Aviation in Sandford, NC, as well as the Vampire Aircraft in 

Oregon where the supposedly new Allegro manufacturing plant is located. All 

my efforts have been fruitless.

I get no response from B bar D Aviation (the worldwide distributer). In 

talking to the individual at Sadler Aircraft in Oregon I was informed the 

because of insufficient orders coming

in for the Allegro, there is insufficient money available to get the new 

plant into operation. He was quite pessimistic. It appears that because of 

the poor economy and the high cost of

these planes the new company (whoever that is) cannot get financing to 

re-birth the factory! Larry, where are you located?

I'm located in the Dayton Ohio area, I fly out of Greene County Airport (I19).  I'm beginning to believe that we may be in trouble trying to get any manufacturing support for these aircraft.  Allegro USA,LLC is going to have a very hard row to hoe if they are trying to start a business without a line of credit.  If you don't make an investment in startup or as far as that goes don't invest in marketing your product, you're doomed to fail. And I believe that is what we're looking at.

I assume you fly an Allegro. Is it a SLA, or ELSA? Is it a 2000 model or a 

2007 model?

A lineman at SDM ran into my Allegro and damaged my right wing and aileron.  Doug at B bar D got me an aileron, wing tips and light covers.  I just picked up my plane and everything is OK. In Socal there's a great Rotax & LSA guy at F70. There's an article in the March AOPA Flight Training mag about my trip around the 48 in my Allegro.

Hi Jim! 



I just read the article  you mentioned, good read!  Glad to hear you got your airplane back in the air.  Did the parts that Hempstead send you come from his stock at B Bar D or were they new parts from manufacturing in Oregon?  I'm just trying to figure out if they have Allegro USA up and running.

Hi All...

  

 Since I purchased my Allegro almost two years ago I've stayed in touch with David Littlejohn at Sadler Aircraft.  My understanding is that David and a couple partners own the rights, parts and tooling for the Allegro.  My last communication with David a few weeks ago indicated that they plan to produce more planes, but not until economic conditions improve enough to justify manufacturing.

  

 I haven't heard about financing issues there, but wouldn't be surprised... as a fellow small-business owner.  That's always an issue.

  

 Personally I'm not losing sleep about us having an orphan plane... at least not any more than when I've owned some so-called classic planes that were no longer in production.  Yes, I wish Allegro's were rolling off the assembly line again.  But until then I still love our practical and fun-flying plane.  As long as we have a reasonable availability of parts and the plane is insurable, I'll just keep flyin' and smilin'.

Larry,

The aileron came from Oregon.  I don't know about the other parts.

With the new altitude rule, I'm going to try and go to Leadville, CO (LXV) this spring.

Jim
