For those interested, I've started to put up a web sight about my project.  So far it's just some pictures, not much text or other links.

I'm plans building a 601XL.

Dan that is very impressive.  Lots of great ideas and solid rivets.  I like your main gear a lot.  It looks way better than the 40 lb hunk of aluminum I installed on N5SL.  The firewall looks great with those solid rivets.  And that manual flap lever is very clever!  



Keep posting pictures - you are doing some good work.  I suspect this is not your first airplane project.  Keep the pictures coming!  



Thanks for sharing,

Nice site but I have a question. Is the main gear 2 parts?

I like the web site. I like to look at others projects so I can see

what I should be doing. Is there any way to enlarge the pictures?

Nice Propeller! That looks like a great project!  Do you have any recommended reads for building a propoeller?

There were several questions that came up about the new web sight.



Some one asked if the pictures could be made larger.  I assume he clicked on the small version (thumbnails), many of the pictures were kept small for fast loading, but I think I'll compromise from now on and make them a bit bigger, but what you see is what ya get.  I doubt I'll re-upload the ones that are already there.  I do intend to add more pictures, some explanatory text and other useful info.. later.



Some asked if the main gear is in 2 pieces.  Yes, it is.   This is the composite gear Air Craft Spruce sold for the 601 XL and made in East Europe.   Let me be clear.  I do not recommend it.   It requires significant structural changes to accommodate a 2 piece gear.   I've posted a number of pictures of the gear channel mods I've made.



Some asked about the home made wooden prop.   I read a book by a fellow named Al Schubert "How I make wood propellers".  He also wrote "A Farmer Builds A Plane".   You won't find these at Barne's and Nobble or Amazon, but if you do a search you might find them on the Internet.   There are also some good computer modelling programs for designing a purpose made propeller.  Let me be clear, I do not recommend making your own prop, though I had a lot of fun making mine.



You'll notice I'm also building a Corvair Conversion.  I don't recommend that either.  Heck, I don't even recommend building your own plane!  What kind of crazy person would do that?

Thanks for sharing your web site. I have bookmarked it and will be visiting often. I'm also plans building and I've been working in my website lately and surprisingly, my web site http://www.geocities.com/bill_dom/ is very similar to yours (pictures and not much text), except for that fact that you are way ahead of me and your shop is a lot nicer than mine.



I'm using Picasa to host the picture galleries and geocities as a portal to the galleries.  In this way, it is completely free and Picasa make the management and correction of pictures very painless with their offline tool, where uploading newer pictures is only a click away.
