Hello Aviation Community! I would like to update the company description for Epic Aircraft. The current description is incorrect and outdated. The content and format I am submitting is similar to other aircraft company listings on Wikipedia.
Epic Aircraft is a general aviation aircraft manufacturer in Bend, Oregon. The company offered three high performance kit aircraft models and was in the process of developing two certified models when it entered bankruptcy in late 2009. It has since reopened under new ownership with a focus on the kit aircraft
Epic Aircraft is a general aviation aircraft manufacturer in Bend, Oregon and is owned by Engineering LLC based in Russia. They are well known for their high performance experimental single-engine aircraft powered by the popular PT6 turboprop. The company discontinued manufacturing kit planes and is moving toward FAA certified aircraft.
Below are aviation articles and news release's that support the information in the company description I am submitting.
These Articles announce new ownership and company focus to discontinue kit planes and move towards certification. http://www.avweb.com/news/snf/SunNFun2013_Epic_Certification_208477-1.html http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/ain-news-live/sun-n-fun/2013-04-10/epic-aircraft-plans-certify-epic-lt-turboprop-single-late-2014
This article, printed by Aircraft Owners and Pilots, discuss the high performance aircraft and specifications for Epic LT aircraft as well as the move to certified aircraft. http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2013/October/Pilot/Epic-LT-Seeing-is-believing.aspx
Your help with this update is greatly appreciated.

Epic Aircraft is a general aviation aircraft manufacturer in Bend, Oregon, owned by Engineering LLC based in Russia. The company is developing a number of FAA certified single-engine models for sale.
In the past Epic has manufactured and sold kits for high performance experimental models. These kits have been discontinued, following bankruptcy in 2009 and subsequent change of ownership and reorganisation.
All Epic designs are powered by a single PT6 turboprop engine. citation needed
This is good! A couple of changes .. 1. The company is developing a number of FAA certified single-engine models for sale. Should read, " The company is focused on Type Certified Aircraft. Epic has only one aircraft model. 2. Why reference bankruptcy in the company information? This is old news and already well noted in the history section.

This is not correct. Epic did not discontinue manufacturing kit planes after the bankruptcy in 2009,instead Epic continues to manufacture kit planes just no longer taking additional orders as of Oct 2013. Kit planes continue to be manufactured at the facility through serial #54. These planes will be completed through 2014 when the company will manufacture certified aircraft. Additionally in December, Epic and their customers obtained three additional C of A's for kit planes.
It would be correct to say, "These kits have been discontinued, following change of ownership and reorganization." Thank you !! Piper Thomas ( talk) 17:48, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
True nothing, at this time, to backup the claim that kits have been discontinued. How about this version? It is factual and simply describes the company and its aircraft.
