EPIC E1000 GX
by Matthew McDaniel
FLIGHT REVIEW
Comparing airplanes to horses has been a mainstay in both aviation journalism and aircraft naming. Evoking
the image of fast or free-spirited horses seems to help sell airplanes. No one ever compares an aircraft to a draft horse.
Yet, to me, Epic’s E1000 GX is a hybrid galloping racehorse and heavy hauling draft horse. No other aircraft in this class can heft such loads to such altitudes then run at home-stretch speeds for the entire remainder of the race.
