Fantasy Air Allegro
The Fantasy Air Allegro is a Czech high-wing, tricycle-gear light-sport aircraft built at Pisek since its first flight in 1995, with over 300 produced across the Allegro SW, Allegro 2000 and 2000F variants. Its strut-braced aluminum wing with fibreglass tips typically carries a Rotax 912 engine, though the 582UL and Jabiru 2200 were also offered. Reviewers praised its wide speed range, good visibility and low operating costs, but noted cramped legroom for taller pilots and control forces that feel mismatched between the light elevator and the much heavier rudder pedals. Production later continued in the United States under the Allegro LSA name.
Did you know?
An Allegro you see in the US may be the later Allegro LSA, not the Czech original from Pisek.
