Karma: 1 |  | Allegro - Now made in USA

Following a period of uncertainty after the Fantasy Air Czech factory ceased production in September last year, production has resumed in the USA. Due to the popularity of the Allegro as a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) around 75% of the Czech factory output was sold to the USA but the weak Dollar to Euro exchange rate was threatening not just the Allegro, but all LSA imports due to a 40% increase in the dollar price. Fantasy Air were keen to retain their position in the market and have formed a partnership with an existing LSA manufacturer based in Oregon to reduce the Euro cost content. The Allegro is now "Made in the USA" which will further enhance its popularity and maintain the enviable reputation the Allegro has as the number 1 value LSA on price and performance. Many of the the original Czech team of craftsmen and engineers are working alongside their US partners to ensure a smooth changeover and production start up. UK price benefits too from better £/Dollar exchange rate than the Euro.
