Incidentally, until the Legacy gets under about 35 kts. on rollout, there is enough lift that, even on an asphalt runway, it is easy to lock the tires. I flat-spotted one finding this out. On grass it would be easier to lock the tires, even if it would probably not be as hard on them. The Legacy is out and away the best airplane I can come close to affording to fly but a back-country bird it's not. [ I have a dig on my prop from parking the legacy on grass. one could pump up the front strut more I guess, but I don't know of many grass strips that have my required 3k length so why risk it? -Rob ]
