This sound's epic

Though the E1000 GX compares favorably to the TBM and Piper turboprops on passenger comfort and performance, it clearly has a higher pilot workload. Hopefully they sell enough to stay alive long enough to produce follow-on models with an upgraded flight deck and a radar pod.

Nice A/C, however 2200' RWY, hmm!!!!!

Wow it always been my dream plane!!

This sounds epic

😵‍💫😍

Can this aircraft operate on unpaved runways?

I would take this over the Cirrus Vision Jet any day.

Picture yourself in this single engine plane when the engine noise suddenly stops..Think hard about this!

AMAZING BIRD :)))

Next version needs: - Garmin G3000 PRIME - Garmin Autoland - Auto Throttle then you probably have the best turboprop single for the next decade if these useful load specs are legit.

You need to go catalyst and beat the Denali.

Epic>TBM

AWESOME BIRD!

I saw one of these recently when it landed at my local airport, which is quite a small airport. I watched it takeoff as well, and it's an amazing sounding and looking aircraft! It handled the small airport with ease.

Bottom line (for me), the EPIC E1000 GX is by far WAY AHEAD OF ANYTHING WITHIN THE SAME CLASS from a performance standpoint - the TBM is not even close. And the cabin space, wow, simply wow! However (and her come the CONS), the electronics lag dramatically compared to the TBM and M700; both of which are equipped with the G3000. Then, there’s the hassle of a PROP lever in the E1000, no auto-throttle, no FADEC, no Garmin Autoland and no RADAR. Are the missing features deal breakers? Maybe….maybe not! However, when the cost of the E1000 GX is marginally close to a brand new TBM 960, there remains much hesitation for most prospective buyers. Restricted to FL310 in the TBM 960 with all the best features might be acceptable even through the fuel, climb and payload performance of the E1000 GX while cruising at FL340 is the ultimate - if you know what I mean? I urge EPIC to close the gaps and address some of the CONS, especially the front panel equipment, best in class auto tune radar and getting rid of the prop lever. EPIC…without doubt you are sitting on the next industry leader. Best wishes!

are there any plans to add AUTO LAND in the future?

I wonder how this compares with the TBM's

When will you collaborate on making this type of aircraft with the Indonesian aviation industry?

A beautiful machine, and one just flew over my house; I live 5 miles from the factory in Bend👍

I was lucky to get experience in this simulator. No motion, but it was great. I would rather not pay $$$$ for motion if I were to get the full training.

Love Cedar Key flew there many times

It Looks Like A Gulf-Stream Jet But Smaller With A Turbo-Prop. They Should Have Called It A G50 Or G60👍👍👍👍👍

Proud to see a fellow Oregon company making such an amazing aircraft and to be a part of it. Great video as well! Kudos all around. Way to go Epic!

The plane is a beast. It’s priced right and checked so many boxes. It’s so much larger than the TBM and M class. 42 gal/hr at 34000.

I heard all the Pros, but what are the Cons?

G3000, FADEC and auto land and it’d be the best.

Definitely at the top of my wish list for a plane. Love it as it is and can't wait to see how Epic evolves it!

I have always thought this plane to be the sleekest looking turboprop planes out there. 😊

Amazing aircraft and stunning performance! I’m sure Epic will continue to improve this already great aircraft.

This is the plane that reminds me of the Jonny quest adventure series.

Incredible video. Beautiful airplane. We're privileged to be a part of it and fellow Oregonians!

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

Needs G3000 and auto land.

Would love to see more videos about this trip. How did you prepare for such an amazing adventure? Will you be doing more trips in the future? Would love to follow along.

If I only had the money…

Epic airplane and epic adventure!

The GX 1000 looks like a great plane. But judging by this video, I'm wondering if Epic is missing or overlooking a major part of the market. The marketing more like that of a luxury car.

Amazing video work ✈️

congrats :))

Absolutely incredible

I can't even afford a new car why am I watching this

I'm curious, what brought you guys to decide against a deicing boot on the vertical stabilizer? Similar aircraft (TBM 960 and Piper M600) both have one fitted on their vertical stabilizers, so I'm curious what part of your testing (or just aircraft design) indicated that it wasn't needed.

It's the price of a Phenom 100

Marine Corps veteran here I served in Washington DC and held a secret clearance position while was in (medically retired now). Looking to get into the aviation field as I'm transition out of the military and into a civilian career. I came across your advertisement for Western Sales Associate and instantly became curious of your company and its various fields of work. What advice do you have for an Oregon veteran to break into the aviation field and possibly land an employment with an excellent company like Epic Aircraft.

Hold up, why does every number you put up for other aircraft fall grossly short of their own claims on cruise speed? Everyone knows aircraft never get fully to their claimed speed, but you're calling these waaaay lower

This plane and company just continues to get better and better .and better what I'm most wondering about now , and I know you've said it's being worked on , is an Auto land system .. any idea how far down the road/sky that'll be ? Thanks

I am a cirrus SR22T owner this is the next plane I would get. I would love a test flight anytime. This plane is absolutely amazing.

I have to brag on Aaron. He visited my home base KGWW wings weekend event in the early 2000’s. The FSDO was doing a tribute to his dad and he came and hung out most of the day. I saw him again in Baghdad in 2010 and he put on a heck of a show for our small group. He visited our base on a USO tour. Down to earth guy with a big heart.
