Good luck on your build.  I don't see much info out there yet on the Epic Sport.  Does this follow along the lines of the HiMax?

Suggested power plant?  Is the Sport a single seat version of the proposed 2 place Epic?

The "Epic Sport" is the two place.  That's what they are working on, with great hopes of having her done for Oshkosh this year.

The bench style seat cushions are almost done, Fiberglass company  is completing the cowl this week.
We will be installing hydraulic brake lines and windshields  this week also.

It's getting exciting.  If my business brings in a good amount of income early this week, maybe I'll be able to order an "Epic Sport" Wing Assembly Kit.  I sure wish I could be there to help David out with these last things that need to be done.

Looking good coop, I assume you have hired a full time aviation engineer to your work force.

Love the look! Wish I could have made Oshkosh as intended this year!
Why focus on proving how great you are, when you could focus on becoming better?...
