Warning to any one on the list using AnyWhereMap as their GPS. I have
used their products for over 15 years and always had good service. They
have been good supporters of EAA and exhibit every year. Their website
appears to have been shut down and their phone hangs up when I make a
call. EAA has not heard from them about exhibiting this year. So we
may not be able to get updates for their GPS products including their
newer IPAD and Android based products. Caution to anyone before
buying!!!! Hopefully this is temporary but I have not been able to get
good tech support for months. Probably out of business. Too bad, I
really liked their system. Let me know if anyone knows anything different.

Folks,
I need some inspiration. I have a work in progress 601xlb and I need a fresh
injection of motivation. I haven't worked on it in about a year now and
don't want to give up on it.
What keeps you building?

Lee,
Even before I started building, I made up my mind that my 601XL would be co
mpleted and fly. Flying that airplane was my motivation. I worked on it e
very day I wasn't traveling to make a living. It took two and a half years
, start to finish. It did fly; but unfortunately, age and deteriorating ph
ysical condition over took me and I was never able to fly it. Don't let th
at happen to you. Get after it !!!

Lee,
After I spent the first few thousands on the plane, it was going to fly even if
I had to push it! I'm a frugal type of guy. I flew it yesterday and was again
delighted to practice landings in the rising heat of the mid-afternoon before
the T-Storms rolled in. It is an accomplishment that will never get old.
I'm still smiling!

Lee,
It sounds like the long term goal of having an airplane to fly isn't
working for you, so perhaps you should take a different point of view.
You can look at the daily grind as a goal in itself.
If you work on your plane every day for at least a little while -
perhaps 1/2 hour to 1 hour - you will eventually get it done. So maybe
that should be your goal - to work on it every day.
Good luck,
Paul

I happened on to a fellow in Church that I used to work with. He is
disabled and he was bored to tears. He, also, has a love for airplanes. I
was near the canopy stage and final fitting of the parts, then paint. He
bugged me about every day..."We gonna work on it tonight?" ...and I would
say"Sure!". Little by little we became best friends and with his extra eyes
and another hand, we finished it just in time for the great FAA to tell us
we had to disassemble and make the mods for the 'B' revision...and it was
painted. We tore it apart and transported it back to my work shop and took
a year extra to finish the mods and reassemble at the airport. It flew on
August 21, 2012.
Keep pluggin' away. Find a friend with a mutual love and a
willingness to help. You'll get there!!!
