As time goes by, the HD(S) construction web sites are disappearing.
Most of the links in CH601.org and Zenair are dead.

Below are the ones I know are active, in no particular order.
Some are brief, some are thorough, but they all can be of help as a reference.
The quality of pictures also varies a lot, from old analog cameras to high resolution digital.
It's interesting how technology (imaging and avionics) changed in such a short time.

It's been a while since I worked on my XL. Even longer since I updated my website. School has been keeping me busy. But I've been working on a research project that I am maintaining a wikisite for. It is web based and fairly easy to maintain. You don't have to know a lot of coding. You can get free ones. I use https://www.wikidot.com/ Anyone contemplating starting a site, may want to give it a look. I may move my XL content over to a wiki in the future (when I have time).

Carlos

The Scrapbook add-on for the Mozilla Firefox browser lets you save a copy of any website to your computer hard drive. If you're short on space, you could download the files onto a CD or DVD. That is cheap insurance to preserve what might prove to be an invaluable resource. You can specify the depth that you want links saved. You just need to be careful of embedded links to really big external sites.

A source that sometimes works for a disappeared site is a Google search for something in the site. If the info is still in Google's cache, you can access the data from the Cache directly from the search page. I've no idea how long info stays in the Google's publicly accessible cache.

Carlos-
Nice thought, and good work.
The interesting thing is that the projects of the people on your list that I recognise are scratch modified to incorporate many of the features of later models or first-off ideas. You almost can't call them 601HD(S)s, but 625HDXLs!

It might be a worthwhile project to capture the sites that are remaining, and
place a copy on a website somewhere that will be there a while. Google
archived copies could be placed at the same location.

If something like this isn't done, the information will simply be lost.

Thank you all for the feedback.

I have been keeping some information from this sites as I go along, but Scrapbook deserves a test.
Disk space these days is real cheap.

If anybody has additional links, please post them here.

Happy building

Most of the links in CH601.org and Zenair are dead.


If one still has the old links, archive.org might help to find archived versions of old sites.
It worked very well for the old location of my (rarely updated) site before the ISP name changed, but I had to have the exact URL to be able to find it.
(e.g., for the dead link " http://web.ionsys.com/~pchapman/" I wasn't able to find it searching just on "ionsys" and/or "pchapman").


So what other 601 or Zenith "community" websites are there?


Zenith Webring
http://www.webring.com/hub?ring=zenithbuilders
The Zenith webring hasn't been maintained or promoted for a long time and only includes 15 entries. Presumably people could still add or subtract themselves from the list but it is not really a current place to be.

Zenith builder pages
http://www.zenithair.com/bldr/bldr.htm
This used to have builder contact info (that one had to email in) but I can't find it any more from that page.
Given the number of links on the page to zenith.aero I assume the latter takes over that function??

CH601.org
Has some links. More of a traditional admin coded site, so it seems one has to email in any changes to the 601 web site list the site has links from.

zenith.aero
The slickest and most modern of the sites -- looks like it is becoming the place to be?
(But I personally prefer the Matronics email lists still, over the zenith.aero forums.)
Plenty of user updateable parts -- contact info, blogs, friends, photo, video, a wall, etc.

zenair.org
Not sure what's on there - perhaps someone else can say.
One has to get an account from the admin, which is available when one is a subscriber to the newsletter by Jon Croke.


A whole other topic is what free sites one might go to to post one's own website, blog, videos etc, if one wants to go beyond the format allowed by say zenith.aero.
