Today we're flying the 2024 Epic E1000 GX on a short flight in Colorado.
This is the certified version of the Epic with FIKI capabilities.
Come along as we take off out of Erie on a hot summer day for a short flight using the VFR Flyway down to Denver Centennial Airport.

Thanks for taking us along in your Epic. Not a lot of in cockpit Epic videos to be found on KZfaq. Hopefully there's more to come. I like flying the Epic E1000G in the virtual world in X-Plane 12 and it is very cool to understand how it is flown in reality.

I used to fly the twin otter that used to be based outta WB2, cool to see what’s in that hangar now. I fly an encore out of APA now, see you around!

Amazing performance but the best thing is how pilot-friendly the E1000 GX is to fly. Speed machine. Love it!

Liked your opening shot of the flatirons. I used to live in Boulder and learned to fly at Jeffco (now Rocky Mountain). Nowadays I'm up north in Ram country. Keep the vids coming.

@dmzamzow that's awesome! I figured anyone local would appreciate a shot of the flatirons. Back when Jeffco got renamed to Metro, we used to call up the tower frequency and say "Jeffco Tower" and oftentimes they really came unglued about the fact we weren't using the new proper phraseology, "Metro Tower". 🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting! Safe flying up there!

Nice video Cory, the Epic is as beautiful as she is fast!! Thanks for including the startup and shutdown.

@agp7073 thanks for watching and commenting! Certainly a fun plane to fly! The climb-out is almost more extreme than the Citation I fly. Pretty fun, no doubt!

The Epics are built across the runway from my school. Even got a factory tour a couple weeks ago. I would love to fly one or even ride along someday. Let me know if you need a SIC 😂

@corey97140 Busy airport there! The tour of the factory is a really neat treat, glad you got to see it! Which rating are you working on?

@@CoryCalvin its SO busy. 50% of training is flying, 50% just dealing with traffic. Currently halfway through instrument. Long road ahead!

Very nice video. One thing I noticed is that when you performed a warm start, you only waited until ITTs came down to 150degC before adding fuel. You should have waited longer until temp dropped to 130degC (consult the Epic POH/AFM). FYI, I own and fly a 2022 E1000 GX.

@CoryCalvin 19 күн бұрын

Hey @uberanalyst , thanks for watching! In factory training, it was taught to 150°. I am aware of the 130° temp, however, to get it to 130 would have exceeded the starter limitation. It temp'd out at 789 on that start, so well below the temp limits for startup. Happy Flying! Epic is sure a fun one!

@kylemccartney1831 lol! I forgot the XM in the Garmin will continue to play on the next start-up if not shut off prior to shutdown. Then, while taxxing, I remembered youtube will flag the audio if played too long, so I had to clip out some of the video because of that. Whoops. Thanks for watching! 😀
