Man Joe seems like such a rad guy, and you killed it, cool to see a plane like that being flown like this.

[@FlyShamu]

HOLY INFORMATION overload Batman! 🤣 Nice job Trent. Beautiful landing man!

[@the_desert_dweller]

Trent this says a lot about your skills as a pilot, I think its awesome people trust you enough to fly their expensive planes.. Looking forward to seeing your new plane up and running! if you ever fly into Laughlin, NV KIFP you should look me up for a photoshoot..

[@SkylerB17]

I could see the anxiety on takeoff, but that was swell, Trent. Sick ass plane.

[@fallonprince4200]

Way to handle the pressure of the new avionics experience.. Cool hand Trent.. That was awesome.. Thanks for sharing..

[@Itsatarp1337]

I love those giggles in the background.

[@chrislovett6120]

What an awesome experience. Thanks for sharing Trent

[@TheUglyCub]

29:1 Holy hell! That’s almost glider range. That looked like a helluva lot of fun. You guys were giggling like Beavis and Butthead.

[@RPO767]

Best glide is actually 17.5:1. still very good though.

[@olympiashorts]

@@RPO767Still over twice my plane’s glide ratio. Mine’s a brick compared to that!

[@flomoose7315]

@@RPO767let me tell you… old gliders basically have that glide ratio😂. What an amazing aircraft. Really lets me wonder how the one in Germany a few years ago crashed. With that much power… fells like it shouldn’t just stall out of the sky😅

[@BeechSportBill]

Hello to the creator of the EPIC that came to the Beechday Fly-in at Kennewick Vista Field (RIP) 25 years ago.

[@jacobmeetze9990]

Such a sick aircraft! Love the content Trent!

[@LiubovBlazek]

Nice segue from waiting for the Legends final assembly video and what a beast to fly in style and performance. Every one of your videos further inspires my little boy towards aviation, Thanks Trent, Trent, Liubov, & Alexander

[@MichaelSmith-eq5lf]

like strapping on a rocket!!!! well done

[@nothingtoseehere4026]

Love the look of the Epic.

[@c.youngberg9511]

11:54 "I'll go ahead and reset your trim for you because you're, umm...." *waves hands vaguely around to everything* "...Busy." Lol, that gave me a good chuckle. You're having a helluva time, he sees that, and calls you "busy." 😂🤣😂🤣

[@bruhn75]

Don't know anything about flying but loving your Chanel and content. Damn @Trent you put the biggest smile on my face with this video, impressive flying skills. Would love to see more of you trying out different planes and follow along on your experience.

[@chupacabra1765]

I'm surprised with your popularity that you have not had the opportunity to fly something like that much earlier. Next a P-51D Mustang.

[@CraigVanSickleAK]

Very cool, thanks for sharing. It's impressive they've taken this from homebuilt to certified, I hope the company does well.

[@cageordie]

I only fly simulators, but I have an Aerobask Epic E1000 and if it is accurate then this is a remarkable aircraft. Without beta they taxi very fast, so beta is essential. So the climb is accurate then. Getting to altitude fast lets you get to the most economical flight regime. The E1000 makes the Vision Jet look like a real dog. The Epic E1000 climbs faster, flies higher, flies faster, and burns way less fuel. Losing speed can be a problem coming down from FL340. It's really interesting to see that the model on XPlane 12 seems to model the real thing well. I have flown it round the world, in realtime. The model cruises at around 170 KIAS at 40gph at FL340. Initially. As fuel burns off and weight reduces you have to reduce power to stay down to economical cruise. That's near 300KTAS. That gives you over 7 hours from 288 gallons, but you'd be a fool to use all of them. Still, near 2000nm range.

[@bigman55434]

That prop and power plant look the same as what Mike Patey had in Turbulence, which probably weighs a lot less than this Epic

[@BeechSportBill]

Drop it on your ranch strip!!!

[@IFIXATVS]

Completely unreal! So many things happening while flying that Epic. I’m sure it eventually becomes second nature but wow!

[@DawnPatrolAviation]

awesome. that plane just LOOKS powerful!

[@barrygrant2907]

Okay, Trent, let's see you drop that thing in on a sandbar!

[@garrygballard8914]

Stay tuned you say 🤨 Well ya. Everyone stays tuned to Trent.

[@buckywillettgolf4412]

Love the nervous laughs in the back!

[@barrysimmons5489]

What a great opportunity to experience! Massive vote of confidence!

[@colegilli]

Sweet video Trent! Hope to be showing you some stuff in the H130 soon.

[@ClassyTurtleProductions]

So epic! ive always wanted to fly one of those along with a pilatus.

[@HoxieDan5369]

Absolutely fabulous flight!

[@phylxguy5547]

Next you'll be collaborating with Tommy from Gear Down from kits to gulfs lol

[@addictedtobedrock5282]

Good job Trent, that was pretty intense. 👍🏻

[@garyonnen7634]

Watching you fly this crazy airplane, wile watching KOH at the same time. Both are nuts.

[@roadboat9216]

The biggest difference in the plane and yours is not performance………………..it’s budget! But what an aircraft. Wow. Thanks for the demo ride.

[@petercole2339]

What an amazing machine! Badass for real!

[@73FPV]

WOW. So cool Trent.

[@mikercflyer7383]

Wow, that was amazing its like going from a glider to a rocket, looking forward to see you fly your new plane home. Safe Travels.

[@pnwpacer1685]

Well…I’m sold on the Epic. Now to find that big bag of money to make it happen! Such an incredible airplane.

[@U20E27]

Trent you need a turbine powered back country rig👍. Rotax pfffttt😆

[@mandiworld]

Like Liberace used to say.. Too Much Of Something Is Wonderful!

[@jerichogrindley2479]

hey Trent i love your videos so inspiring i wish i could afford to get my pilots license here in Canada BC i cant wait to see the new build hopfully i can meet you someday

[@Charles-oz4tr]

The nose cone on that things yells “speed” !!!

[@rl5178]

What a fun ride!

[@janepalmer4292]

I’m as nervous as you!!

[@JerryDechant]

That plane seems a lot like the TBM turbo prop planes. Nice to fly fast, but you got to be ready because stuff happens faster.

[@robertmoorej]

I wish i could afford to be this guy. Id love to be able to fly anywhere sooo much.

[@bagels377]

After flying the pc12 for 3 years...i don't think ill ever fly a piston again haha. It's just as fun

[@algenalbritten3056]

This was clutch!

[@steini6771]

This bird is the real thing! Thank you chaps -

[@Smt_Glaive]

never seen trent nervous XD

[@DanFrederiksen]

Decent aerodynamics helps speed things along. They should have made it a jet though.

[@coosbaykodyvlogs]

That's so funny just worked on this plane lol

[@Kujjiman]

Big power, small tires

[@gijoe1of3]

very cool!

[@ARSOFU]

AIRBORNE!!!

[@richardrickert3138]

Always fun to fly something with more performance. No such thing as to much power.😅

[@harrisongould9460]

My palms were sweating on that landing… Now I have to check other parts of my body to see if they’re OK🤪🤪

[@nowayoutstp4]

I’ll take 3!

[@user-tq8ps5wh9u]

Trend escobar 😂 полетел в колумбию

[@chrispbacon550]

That is a sexy sexy airplane!!! Holy cow!!! Idk if you have to be a pilot to say that but that plane is phenomenal!!!

[@hamiam2243]

After one flight, could you jump in it and takeoff if you had to.😃

[@pyeitme508]

Wow 😳

[@earlmyers9374]

how long a sandbar can this get into?

[@GlensHangar]

We can all dream...

[@CheetoFaceDonConvict]

How many hours do you have Trent?

[@TrentonPalmer]

I'm at just over 1300hrs or so

[@peterhaan9068]

Why is the Epic so quiet? What is 'beta?'

[@otc-x1-b9]

Epic Trent.... ◇♡◇

[@maxmccain8950]

Did I hear him say the climb rate is 10,000 feet a minute? Wow.

[@micwell2247]

It's how we every day pilots live

[@KuschallRacing]

glide ratio 29 to 1 ? this must be a mistake , no ?

[@RPO767]

Yes, mistake. It's around 17:1.

[@bryantsteele805]

No such thing as TOO MUCH power. Unless it's unmanageable.

[@Airplanefish]

I dunno Trent. The instructions he was giving you seemed nonchalant. It appears as none of that was pre briefed. You were nervous and he was way over confident.

[@joluisaponte]

Epic my favorite single engine airplane on the market. Anyone got a few million I can borrow?

[@BlazinRiver1]

Not to get too political here...but do you think a traffic control tower is the right place for DEI? Shouldnt the MOST qualified be in the tower?

[@IFIXATVS]

DEI has no place in a tower. Most qualified gets the job. Looks and beliefs do not matter

[@floatingmallows]

GTfO with this shit
