Fw: [QUAD-L] ....hand controls

[William Willis]

No hand cojtrol problems. But as you know, I creamed a tree when my tie-down failed. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 6:24 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] ....hand controls There are several different types of quad controls for driving including para controls that push/pull to operate.  Portable hand controls are dangerous just for this reason. Hand controls should be installed with Loctite 242 on the threads after all adjustments have been made to prevent nuts and bolts from loosening due to road vibration and use. Drivers should also use a check list before the van begins to move to ensure that controls are not loose or make unnecessary rattles. The cockpits of modern day vans with electric controls are starting to look like the cockpit of a AWAX with all of the adaptive equipment.
