I guess it is = none of my business, since I don't own a Legacy, but I feel the need to put= in my opinion, for what it's worth:
I have to respectfully disag= ree in principle with Gary Week's post.  Not because he is wrong, as h= e is absolutely correct.  But, I would treat this as a design flaw - (= not)latching the canopy is something that should not be a life-and-death ev= ent.  The solution is simple - just add a secondary latch, like the ho= od of most any car has.  In that way the canopy can be held open durin= g taxi without relying on the pilot to latch it fully before takeoff.  = ;And if the latch does come adrift there is another one to catch it.  = I just don't like the idea of relying on a human to actively do something t= hat could be a problem.  I, too, have heard of more than one report of a problem with this.  I just don't like the idea of saying,= "just be more careful."  The stakes are too high.
regards t= o all,
Gary Casey
