Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I was at Oshkosh, saw the Legacy 2000 and picked up a spec sheet.  The
gear looks like the Glasair III gear.  There is more headroom (higher
canopy) and a totally different wing design, but other than that, it
looks exactly like the 360 MKII.  Here is the specs...

Length .............................22 ft
Wingspan.........................25.5 ft
Wing Area........................82.5 ft
Empty Weight...................1350 lbs.
Gross Weight....................2000 lbs.
Fuel Capacity....................55 gal.
Useful Load......................550-750 lbs.
Baggage Capacity.............50-90 lbs.
Trailering Width................120 in.

CABIN AREA

Length...(overall)................63 in.

The disclaimer at the bottom of the flyer says, "Performance specs are
estimated."


I don't know if it will be offered as a kit, production plane, or
both.   There were so many people in the Lancair tent that I just
grabbed a flyer.


Hope that helps all of you interested in the Legacy 2000.  I like the
main landing gear.  It actually has struts on each main as well as the
nose.  I did overhear that the ground handling is superb.


Happy building.

Matt Reeves
