Test flew an Epic E1000 turboprop the other day and wow. The thing is absolutely incredible performance. On take off I pitched up to 8 degrees to the command bars and we were already blowing through 200 kts. I tried to pitch up to slow to the climb speed of 150 and were 17 degrees pitched up and climbing at 4000 fpm! The thing is a rocket ship. Setting into cruise at 24k ft we accelerated to nearly 330 kts. It lands like a Cirrus. Very impressive airplane!
