  My comments:
  A. Nothing wrong with parachutes
  B. Electricity is good
  C. Two batteries are good too
  D. It is good to be able to get rid of ice
  E. Feathering props extend the glide range
  
  One of the designers of the Legacy has said the aircraft is capable (safely)
  of quite a bit more weight than the 2200 lbs. Wasn't it Carsten that flew
  his Legacy to Europe, with a lot of extra fuel.
  
  66 gallons is 386.1 lbs , using Walter's precise weight of 5.85 lbs per
  gallon.

   A) - you always wear a parachute and will continue to do so with your
  LEGACY
   B) - you are going to add the 100A alt, a 40A backup (dunno where you got
  a
   40 that fits on the accessory port, the B&C is a 20), a 70 for the de-ice
   system
   C) - I'm assuming from all the alternators, that you are also going to
  have
   Lots of batteries, so when the alternator quits, you have backup?
   D) - you are going to add a full deice system, this will include cuffs on
   the wings, horiz stab, vert stab, etc
   E) - you want a full feathering prop setup
   
Factory specified gross is 2200lbs.  With 66gals of fuel on board, that is
   400lbs of fuel.  See the problem?  From the looks of things, you are going
   to build an airplane that is going to be extremely marginal around max
   weight *and* W&B.  In an ES, no problem, but in a Legacy, I'm not sure
  it's
   wise.
