Sun n' Fun is always a highlight of my life each year. This year was over the top! I have been attending for 15 years and always find it exciting and interesting to see the new aircraft being developed in the private and home built sectors. I have been tracking the exciting development of the Epic LT for 12 years. I was actually able to fly this beautiful Epic LT with take off and landing. It was amazing! Years ago I actually purchased a much smaller Pulsar XP kit and built it over 8 years. I sold it to the head of engineering at the University of Arkansas. It took me 8 full years to build, so I can understand the time it takes to develop and build a larger full business cabin class aircraft and then spend years taking it to certification. Here is the Pulsar XP I built.

Now lets look at the exciting Epic E1000. This aircraft is designed to take 6 full sized adults with full fuel and baggage 1650 nautical miles at the astounding speed of 332 knotts at 32,000 feet of altitude. This is truly a cross country dream aircraft! We believe because of the call of God and the time left to take the message of the kingdom and the end time harvest across America, we need an aircraft that is cost effective and fast. I have believed for several years now that this is the time and place for such an aircraft. Watch the lively video below to check out my demo flight recently at Sun n' Fun airshow.
