I was reading an old article from Oct. 1990 of AOPA Pilot last night and read that there was one four seat Alon built that the production plans got nixed in the Mooney buyout because mooney thought it was too close to their M20 and the article says that at the time of the writing that plane still existed and flew with a slightly longer wing and a 150 hp engine mated to a constant speed prop, Does anyone know anything about this?
