I tried as hard as I could yesterday to get the power handcycle (rio dragonfly)
adjusted, hooked up and running but failed in my attempt. My manual chair
(Quickie 2) has leg rests that stick out pretty far and the drive wheels
plastic mud guard was getting caught on the legrests footplate. I had to abort
the mission and I got a mini saw and cut the mud guard off. I read the
directions through again and next time I find a person to assist my chances
will improve on getting my first drive completed. Its going to work but I want
it to be right. Once I get it all adjusted I should be able to attach and
detach myself. So, I will keep you guys informed and take a pic when Im done
with it attached.

{}#yiv3058961832 It is frustrating to make plans on and then waits and nothing
happens, but people’s lives are busy too and I’m always grateful when someone
does take the time to help me, even if it’s their time frame and not mine. Ron,
I hope you have a good time with the Rio, I will be jealous but hope that you
can enjoy it soon. Joan From: Danny Hearn [mailto:ddh...@sbcglobal.net]

Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] just another day in quadadise Glad you got it Ron, you
are right about trying to not get mad or hold resentments towards people
because all that does it harms the one holding that stuff inside...On other
hand though if a person tells you they will come in one of the next 3 days it
is a shame they can't at least call and let you know about it, could be he just
forgot or had other things of life come up on him. hope you get it going soon,
let us know. Dan H** On Thursday, April 21, 2016 10:49 PM, RONALD L PRACHT

attachable powered handcycle) from ebay last week and I was happy about
potential fun I would have with it this spring/summer. This guy I know told me
he would come and help me get it fitted either tues, wed or thurs of this week.
in preparation I read the manual , put some of it together, charge battery and
get it set up to make it easy as possible for when he comes. I wait all week
and the guy never shows up or even calls me. I told myself that I wasn't going
to get mad so I rigged the legs of the cycle on jack stands in my room and was
able to adjust them to the right length by myself. Its all together now and
adjusted as well as charged. If my mom will just hold the front of the bike, Im
going to try to attach it tomorrow for the first time. I would have tried that
myself but the front end has a spring that brings the wheel back to center when
you turn and that needs adjustment I think. Somehow..........someway Im going
to get this thing going by hook or by crook. I guess anything you want bad
enough you can figure out, but it sure is a big deal to do the simplest things
as a quad. Ron
