Ten Rules of Safe Flying

1. Observe the relevant regulations for Ultralight aircraft.

2. Do not overestimate your piloting skills and never show off for the sake of
spectators. On the contrary, try to use suitable strips of land for practising
emergency landing procedures and land where possible on approved airstrips.

3. Watch the weather all the time. Do not set off on a long flight if thunderstorms,
rain, strong winds, fog or icing are likely to occur.

4. Pay attention to how much fuel you have left, not only by watching the gauge
but also by comparing the current flight duration to the actual fuel consumption
rate.

5. Always choose the flight direction and altitude with respect to the possibility of
making a safe emergency landing manoeuvre.

6. Always fly with sufficient speed margin to avoid stalling the aircraft, especially
during the take-off and landing manoeuvres.

7. Do not perform any aerobatics (e.g. wing-overs) even if you might feel that
you’re piloting skills and the flying qualities and handling characteristics of the
aircraft are good enough for aerobatic manoeuvres.

8. Under no circumstances exceed the maximum allowable speed (VNE) even if it

were just for a few seconds.

9. Do not overestimate your navigation skills. Do not fly into unknown terrain
without appropriate navigation preparation and tools (a map, compass or GPS).

10. Do not fly unless you are in good physical and mental condition.

Introduction
The Allegro 2007 Ultralight aircraft is a 2-seat high-wing monoplane aircraft
designed for sport purposes, for recreational or tourist flying as well as for the
training of student pilots.
The Allegro’s superbly accurate and forgiving handling characteristics, high comfort
for the crew and the economical fuel economy, which is due to the aerodynamic
design of the aircraft, will reward owners who pay the necessary attention to
routine maintenance with many years of trouble free and enjoyable flying.

Our company guarantees the airframe for 100 flight hours or 2 years,
whichever occurs earlier.

The guarantee terms regarding the engine and the propeller are specified in the
manufacturer’s manuals entitled “ENGINE LOG BOOK” and “PROPELLER LOG
BOOK”, which form integral parts of this manual as its enclosures No.1 and No.2.
During the flight you should always bear in mind that the aircraft may not be
equipped with a certified aircraft engine and therefore you should fly the aircraft in
such a way that in case of an engine failure you could make a safe emergency
landing manoeuvre.
We hope that each of your flights will be uniquely rewarding and finished with a
graceful landing.

The Allegro 2007 Ultralight aircraft has the official Type Licence from the Light
Aircraft Association of the Czech Republic No.05/2000 dated October 17th 2000.

Caution
This Flight & Operating Manual must be thoroughly studied by every owner, aircraft
business operator and pilot of this aircraft. The manual describes the necessary
flight and maintenance procedures and it must be always present on board of the
aircraft.

Brief Technical Description

The Allegro 2007 aircraft is an aerodynamically controlled, two-seat, side by side

high-wing Ultralight aircraft with the engine at the front and a T-shaped tail.
Tricycle landing gear, hydraulic main wheel brakes, steerable nose wheel, landing
gear suspension using the flexibility of the tyres, landing gear legs and rubber pads
on the front wheel for suspension.
The aircraft is constructed of aluminium, steel and composite laminates; the
fuselage is welded from metal tubes and is enclosed in composite.
The wing is divided in the middle into two halves, both of which are mounted to the
fuselage by bolts and supported by wing struts. The wing is designed as a rectangle
with trapezoidal outer end. The load-bearing part of the wing is represented by a
torsion box consisting of an aluminium spar and a skin made of aluminium sheet.
The spar flanges are made of aluminium L-sections, the spar web is made of
aluminium sheet.
The airfoil of the wing is maintained by ribs made of aluminium sheet.
The ailerons and flaps are separate.
The tail is T-shaped; its construction is metal and similar to the wing.
The fuselage is all-laminate, stiffened by several internal ribs. The engine mount
and the nose wheel leg are attached to the front “engine” bulkhead made of
laminate sandwich. The central “pilot” bulkhead serves for attaching adjustable
seats and at the rear end of the fuselage there are two ribs made of laminate
sandwich to stiffen the tail fin.
The fuselage structure is welded together from metal tubes; the cockpit is covered
by a transparent windshield made of polycarbonate splinter-proof material. (Beware
of fuel staining which damages this material!!!) Below the seats there is a fuel tank
made of laminate whose inner surface is covered by a conductive layer of graphite,
fuelling is made from the left side of the aircraft just below the door.
The landing gear is tricycle type. The main wheels are equipped with hydraulic disk
brakes controlled by a mechanical brake lever located on the control stick. The nose
wheel is steerable; it is connected to the foot control rudder pedals. The nose wheel
has rubber suspension.
The power plant of the aircraft consists of an engine, the type of which is specified
in the “ENGINE LOG BOOK”, and a propeller, the type of which is specified in the
“PROPELLER LOG BOOK”.
The aircraft has single joystick control; the control stick is situated in the middle of
the aircraft between the two seats. The foot control system consists of two sets of
pedals (one set for each of the pilots). The flaps are actuated by means of an
electric switch located on the panel between the two pilots.

Aircraft Control

Foot Control – when the left pedal is depressed the aircraft turns to the left, both
on land and in the air, and vice versa.

Hand Control (located in the middle of the cockpit) – when the control stick is
pulled backwards, the nose of the aircraft raises upwards (the angle of incidence
increases); when the control stick is pushed forward, the nose of the aircraft goes
down. When the stick is deflected to the left, the aircraft banks to the left and vice
versa.

Throttle Levers – are located on the outer side of each seat. When the lever is
pushed forward, the engine speed increases. There is a screw for adjusting the
mechanical rigidity of the lever’s movement, located in the middle of the operating
rod (under the central cover of the control panel).

Engine Ignition Switches – are located on the control panel in the middle of the
cockpit. The ignition is enabled when the switches are set to the down position.

Main Wheel Brakes – are controlled by means of a lever located on the control
stick. The lever is also equipped with a control for the parking brake.

Maximum Level Speed with extended flaps VFE = 60 Knots

Caution - Do not exceed this speed with extended flaps!

Design Manoeuvring Speed VA = 78 Knots

When flying faster than this you must not suddenly use the full deflection of the
rudder and elevator nor do any quick manoeuvres otherwise an overload could
occur. Do not exceed this speed in turbulence +-2000 fpm!

Limiting Speed VNE = 118 Knots

Caution - Do not exceed this speed under any circumstance !!

Limiting Wind Speeds

Maximum Allowable Headwind Speed 20 Knots
(i.e. against the direction of the flight)

Maximum Allowable Crosswind Speed 10 Knots

(i.e. perpendicular to the direction of the flight)

Do not try to take off or land with tail winds except for emergencies because it
extends the ground roll significantly!

Maximum Take-off Weight 520 kg
Empty Weight 275 kg

Allowable Distances of the Centre of Gravity from the Wing Leading Edge
+ Maximum CG front position 278 mm = 25 %
+ Maximum CG back position 390 mm = 35 %

How to Determine the Aircraft’s Centre of Gravity Position

Place the aircraft with its wheels onto three scales. The aircraft must be in the
cruise position, i.e. with its fuselage axis levelled horizontally utilising the two red
dots located on the left hand side of the fuselage.

Determine the total weight of the aircraft (G) in kilograms as a sum of the weight
readouts from the scales located under the main wheels (Gh), (which is the total of
the weight readouts from the scales located under the left and right main wheels)
and the weight readout from the scales located under the nose wheel (Gp).
Measure the distance between the main undercarriage axis and the nose wheel axis
(Lp) in millimetres.
Measure the distance from the wing leading edge (using a plumb bob) to the main
undercarriage axis (La) in millimetres.

Lt = ————— =
undercarriage axis G (mm)
G

Xt = La - Lt – XSAT/ Allegro 2000/- bSAT = 1115mm XSAT =14mm

This distance expressed as the percentage of the mean aerodynamic chord (SAT) is

X% = 100 x Xt /bSAT

Determined values

bMAC =………………………………………………mm La =……….................................mm

Gh =……………………..…/ *……….…........kg Lt =…………........../*...................mm
G =………….............. / *…….............kg X% =………........../*……………........%
Xt =…………............. / *................. mm * One pilot …………………………........ kg

The position of the aircraft’s centre of gravity has to be from 25 % to 35 %

of SAT.

Note: The position of the centre of gravity of an empty aircraft almost exactly
equals to that of an aircraft in the cruise position with one or two pilots and with
the fuel tank empty or full.

Allowable Turns

Load Factors
Maximum positive load factor in the centre of gravity + 4.0 g
Maximum negative load factor in the centre of gravity - 2.0 g

Cautions
Besides the flight rules imposed from your local authorities it is also forbidden to
· Start the engine by rotating the propeller manually
· Get in or out of the plane when the engine is running
· Taxi with the cockpit open
· To manoeuvre the aircraft by holding its wing struts, horizontal tail unit or
propeller.

Kinds of Operation

It is allowed to fly the aircraft during the day (and on condition the ground is
visible) = VFR and when no danger of icing exists. Other kinds of flight are
forbidden.

MINIMUM OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE ALLOWED FOR TAKE-OFF - 25.0 C

MAXIMUM OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE ALLOWED FOR TAKE-OFF + 35.0 C

Emergency Procedures
If the engine fails while the aircraft is less than 500 feet above the ground

At a low altitude
· Push the control stick forward bringing the aircraft to the best glide path
· Make the landing in the original direction of the flight
· Set the wing flaps to the landing position

At a high altitude
· Push the control stick forward bringing the aircraft to the best glide path
· Turn off the ignition and set the throttle lever fully backwards

© Copyright X-Air Australia 2008 www.mcp.com.au Manual 1.3 – April 2008 Page 18 of 38
 · Tighten the safety harness
· Set the wing flaps to the landing position when the aircraft is approximately
100 feet above the ground
· Make the landing manoeuvre in the open area free from any obstacles, into
the wind if possible

If the engine fails while the aircraft is more than 500 feet above the
ground
· Push the control stick forward bring the aircraft to the best glide path
· Check the ignition, throttle lever and the fuel gauge
· Try to start the engine again
· Follow the steps described above for the case when the engine fails at the
flight altitude of 500 feet above the ground or less

In case of fire
· Turn off the fuel supply
· Set the throttle lever fully forward and wait until the engine runs out of fuel
· Switch the ignition off
· Do not try to start the engine again
· Land the aircraft immediately by following the steps of emergency procedures

In case of excessive vibrations

· Adjust the engine speed to such RPM value which minimalises the vibrations
· Make emergency landing manoeuvres
· If the vibrations keep increasing, turn the engine off and make the
emergency landing with the engine stopped

How to Use the Emergency System (if fitted)

In case of emergency, when you definitively lose control of the aircraft use the
rescue system of the aircraft
· Switch the ignition off
· Turn off the fuel supply
· Tighten the safety harness
· Activate the emergency system

In case of emergency landing in a very limited area when the danger of a crash into
an obstacle is imminent, you can use the rescue system for slowing down the
aircraft. In such a case the aircraft is likely to be damaged.

© Copyright X-Air Australia 2008 www.mcp.com.au Manual 1.3 – April 2008 Page 19 of 38
 · Switch the ignition off
· Follow the instructions of the parachute manufacturer
· Leave the aircraft in such a way that you might not come into contact with
the propeller or any other part of the aircraft.

the purity of the storage vessels. Avoid the use of poor quality fuel or old stale fuel,
buy the fuel at new fuel stations with new storage tanks and use new drums for
transporting the fuel to the aircraft.
Check the earthing cable on the aircrafts left undercarriage leg before fuelling to
discharge static from the aircraft.

Aircraft Assembly
There must be at least two people to assemble the aircraft, preferably three. Follow
the instructions below.
Fit the horizontal tail unit onto the tail fin, connect them using a bolt having the
diameter of 6 mm and secured by a slotted nut with a cotter pin. When you are
fitting the tail plane onto the tail fin, it is necessary to connect the operating rod of
the tail plane balancing surface using a pin having the diameter 6 mm .You must
not forget to secure the pin by a cotter pin, the arms of which must be bent
carefully so that it could not get caught against the tail plane. Finally, attach the
vertical bolt having the diameter of 6 mm. Do not forget to insert as many washers
as necessary, because these washers determine the actual setting of the tail plane
stabilizer. Using a torque wrench tighten the 6 mm bolt and the vertical bolt to the
torque of 10 Nm.
Prepare all the bolts for fixing the wing struts. The procedure is described below
only for one half of the wing. Follow the same instructions when attaching the other
half as well.
First fit the wing strut onto its mount on the fuselage and insert the bolt. Lean the
strut on the ground (put something soft under the strut to protect it from
scratching).
Two people holding the wing can move it towards the mounts. Don’t handle the
wing by touching its wingtips. It must fit in place easily. If it does not, the position
of the wing in respect to the centre-section is not correct.
Do not force too much; the mounts could become damaged. When the wing is in

© Copyright X-Air Australia 2008 www.mcp.com.au Manual 1.3 – April 2008 Page 32 of 38
place, insert the upper bolt. Then fit the strut onto the bracket on the wing and
secure the bolt too. Then push the back bolt through the back wing and centre-
section mount. At all times during the assembly somebody must hold the wing at
its tip to keep it in the correct position. Secure all the bolts with nuts with cotter
pins. Using a torque wrench, tighten the nuts to the torque of 22 Nm. This value
must be observed otherwise the bolts, which are of vital importance, could be
damaged.
Attach the needle for operating the flaps and also secure it by a cotter pin. Connect
the ailerons control in the cockpit and secure it.
Using tailor’s pins instead of appropriate cotter pins is dangerous and therefore
strictly forbidden!
Attach the cover of the joint between the wing and the centre-section. Do not
forget to connect the hoses of the Pitot tube!

Aircraft Disassembly
Follow the instructions described above (Aircraft Assembly) in reverse order.
For the assembly and disassembly of the aircraft we recommend using special
mounting wrenches, which can be ordered as optional accessories. They make the
whole process of assembly and disassembly much faster and easier.

Aircraft Anchoring
If the aircraft is to be parked in an open area it is necessary to anchor it using
ropes and anchoring stakes. In order to avoid any unplanned movement turn the
aircraft with its nose into the wind, fix the tie down ropes to the tie-down points on
the wing ends and to the rear end of the fuselage, and if necessary also to the nose
wheel.
Tie the control stick to lock the elevator and ailerons from moving in gusty winds.
Cover the cockpit with a canopy cover to avoid any damage to the windscreen and
cockpit instruments.
Place wheel chocks around the wheels to stop the aircraft rolling.
All fixing must be made in such a way that the aircraft will not become damaged.
If anchoring the aircraft in a rainy weather or in conditions where water could
condense in the airframe, it’s necessary before the next flight to follow the steps as
described in the section “Aircraft Washing”.

Aircraft Repairs
Minor repairs are considered to be the repairs of such components which do not
affect the flight properties and the strength of the aircraft. These may be done by
the owner.
All repairs of the torsion box, wing spars or tail units, struts and load-bearing parts
of the airframe must be carried out by the manufacturer only.

Aircraft Cleaning and Washing

Openings for the static inlet, stall speed indicator and pitot’s tube must be covered
before any aircraft washing.
Wash the aircraft with standard car-shampoo and water. Avoid using any solvents
or any cleaning agents which may influence aluminium or laminate which you are
not sure about.
All insects stuck on the aircraft can substantially influence performance and
handling characteristic of the aircraft. Remove them BEFORE they go hard.
The best way to wash the aircraft is to soak the plane with plenty of clean water
first. If there are lots of bugs wet a cloth and lay over the affected area and allow
the soaking water to soften the bugs for easier removal. Avoid using brushes which
could damage the aircraft surface.
After drying the aircraft surface you should treat it with car polish, we recommend
Nu-Finish which will make cleaning the aircraft much easier next time.
The cockpit transparent windshield cleaning requires special care. You mustn’t use
any organic solvents or fuel which will cause permanent damage. Use lots of water
for its cleaning. Never use the same water used for the aircraft cleaning, use fresh
water. Use also a separate sponge and rag for drying of the windshield. When clean
we recommend Plexus to keep the screen clean till the next washing.
After finishing the aircraft cleaning, check if there is no water in wings and tails.
Remove the cowling and check if there is no water inside the engine compartment,
dry it if necessary.
Remove the covers from the static inlet, stall speed indicator and Pitot’s tube, check
there is no water.
By a light blowing into the Pitot tube the airspeed indicator pointer must move and
return back onto the “0” position.
When operating the aircraft on grassy or muddy areas remove the wheel spats from
time to time and clean them. Mud layers inside the wheel spat can cause additional
weight and excessive stress and possible cracking.
