Development Epic E1000

The Epic E1000 is a development of a kit built turboprop aircraft called the Epic LT.  It has been around for a while and the development from kit built to certificated production aircraft has been very drawn out.  While many similar projects falter, this one seems to have hung in there.  I think there are a only one or two of the production E1000 aircraft at the moment and one came to BFI.  I caught it rolling out after landing and then taxiing to the Modern ramp.  It is a curious looking airframe.

It later departed but it was hard to get a good shot.  It got airborne early and there was quite a crosswind so they nosed in to that and towards my position.  I effectively got head on and underside shots only so barely identifiable.  Still, it was good to see it.  I have seen some of the earlier airframes in California and at Oshkosh but not for a while!
