Default Epic LT

Anyone else read the ariticle/seen the pictures on the Epic LT in Pilot
Magazine? That is one SEXY machine. It is made by AIR, LLC. I think
AIR stands for Aviation Investment and Research or something like that.
When my ship comes in, I'm gonna get me something like that, if not
that.

Wow, just couldn't get over how beautiful it looks, a Ferrari in the
Sky. I tried to Google for more info on it, but got no hits.

Anyone have more info on it?

Thanks,
Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone

That is a very nice looking plane, the jet design is very cool as well, I
bet the prop plane isn't cheap.

If the pricing link has a "Contact us for pricing information" form,
you'd better be sitting down when you get the response.

I filled out one of those forms once and actually had some bozo tell
me he'd sell his software package outright for $1,000,000 or 10% of my
companies gross revenue. *Blink*

The Epic folks have run into a bit of a brick wall. Their current program
is that you bring them a check for the better part of $1,000,000 and you get
to assemble your "Experimental/Amateur built" airplane in their factory with
their "factory assistance". Unfortunately, the FAA denied the initial
"homebuilt" Epic's certification, using the rationale that they didn't
believe the aircraft met the 51% rule. I.E. they thought the customer more
or less paid Epic to build it for him.

So, we have a guy who owns an uncertifiable airframe that he's paid a
million dollars for. Also, there are 3 or 4 other aircraft on the assembly
line at the factory assistance center. Those customers are probably more or
less screwed too.

Epic says it plans to certify the aircraft, but little work has been done
towards that goal. Without the income from their "Experimental/ Amateur
built" sales, I have doubts about their ability to keep the doors open
through the certification process...

I thought I remember the article saying that they are going through
certification or has gone through certification. I'll dig it up
tomorrow. If they need money, I'll buy a few shares. I bet many
others will also, I think they have a very good product.
