      It was RA-2151G, an Epic LT, a very-high-performance pressurized single-engine 6-seat kit-build turboprop plane.

        A $2M, six-passenger, pressurized, 1200hp turboprop.... "kit"?

        Isn't "kit" being used here as a loophole to circumvent the commercial certification process? I'm betting this one wasn't built by the owner.

          Yes. The certified version, the Epic E1000, was supposde to start deliveries by mid 2019. They had 2 prototypes flying, one of them production-conforming. They completed structural testing mid 2019 and were making good progress with the flight testing. Type certificate was expected by early late 2018 / early 2019 and production certificate a few months after that. However, that didn't seem to have happened. I don;t know what is the current status.
