APPLEFELD" Subject: Zenith601-List: Notice to all 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.

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? ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:27:35 PM PST US Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: Inspiration From: Jay Bannister 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 !!!

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!

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 Camas, WA XL signed out of phase I last fall.

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!!! Rick Beckman On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 5:15 PM, Lee Steensland wrote: > Folks,**** > > ** ** > > I need some inspiration.
