What a bag of worms! I'm just glad it's not mine to solve. Looks like a fun aeroplane however - although you can't help wonder about the deeper reasons why it was never certified by the FAA.

It seems that you have some special attitude to Russian, but I won't discuss nationalist attacks. No one wondering about British or Indian guys flying on american airplanes. Or here is a difference? Strange.
And you are right-it is individual overflight permissions for each country being overflown, and because it's experimental, but it does not mean what ramp inspection can avoid for this reason.
It is not my problem as well-i am just freelancer on that airplane. Usually i am flying Piaggio Avanti 2, and you will be probably disappointed: Russian, with FAA licence flying in Europe on P180 N-reg. Sorry about it.
By the way-Epic E1000 is certified by FAA.
So, are you able to give certain answer on my question? If you not, would you be so kind and stop off-topic please? Thank you!
