Thought I'd pass along my one and only experience in a Legacy. I was in
Redmond a few years ago and Orin gave me a demo ride in a Legacy. On landing
roll out I tried braking and the pedal on one side went right to the floor.
"I don't have any brakes ! .... you've got it" (far be it from me to be
responsible for wrinkling the then new Legacy demo bird).

Orin later told me they'd been having problems with this. They bled the
brakes over and over without sucess at eliminating the problem. Braking was
fine on the ground but one take off and landing and the problem would
reappear. I told him I knew what it was.

When the gear retracted something was putting pressure on the caliper and
pushing the brake pistons back in their holes. I had seen this before on a
Seneca. I never did hear from Orin whether or not it got fixed. Somehow I
think it annoyed him that I knew what the problem was right off the bat and
they had spent so much time trying to figure it out. Oh well, sometimes you
get lucky.

Thought I'd share it just in case someone else was having a similar
experience.
