I'm still building my LNC2 so my opinions are not worth much on this issue, 
but the prop clearance on the 320/360 seems way too small to be taxiing on 
grass with the standard gear.  The Oshkosh sod is rather firm (unless it 
rained recently) but, still, I plan to shut down on the asphalt and push it 
to a parking spot.

I'd practice jumping out and clearing the taxiway by pushing, aiming to block 
the taxiway for no more than 30 seconds (standard for a glider pilot, 
actually).

Just my 2 cents....  Hope to see you at the show this year!  I'll be arriving 
in a friend's plane.... sigh.... maybe someday....
