i think technically it is quick release -- just have to un-twist these two guys and life it off

(it is quite heavy with the rhino on it though)

The circled parts and bracket are the parts I’ve ordered - they don’t come with the chair

Anyone knows the lead time for motors kit?

Did you flip the top plate of your Virpil gear to get the connector at the bottom?

amadeusOP•3/19/23, 8:45 AM

You can basically just unbolt the sides and flip. Usually requires intentionally positioning the cable around and through stuff to get it to route properly, but pretty easy overall

@walmis do you have any plans to expand manufacturing capacity / turn this in to a more "serious" business?

What's the amount of units per month to qualify as serious?

Wwalmis What's the amount of units per month to qualify as serious? 😄

The amount to get to their number in "two weeks".

lmao, lad drops in, expects immediate change

Will3D•3/20/23, 7:58 PM

I just tried XPforce and MSFS for the first time. I don't seem to be getting any real effects once in the air. I expected the stick to tighten when going fast, and become slack during a stall. But nothing. What am I missing ? I feel lots of wheel vibrations on the ground.

SwiftVengeance•3/20/23, 8:05 PM

is xpforce supposed to do that?

Will3D•3/20/23, 9:16 PM

I don't know! I would have thought it could. The Brunner software looks at airspeed and changes tension based on it. I assumed this might do similar. Otherwise what actually DOES it do ?? Currently mine only reacts on the ground. Once airborne there is nothing...

FlatSpin•3/20/23, 9:41 PM

It could if vpforce supported telemetry from msfs I would assume.

Will3D•3/21/23, 12:59 AM

Turns out it was conflicting with the VJoy driver. Uninstalled and now it works.

Will3D•3/21/23, 12:59 AM

However it is a bit odd in the way it works. Not really like I had hoped.

Will3D•3/21/23, 1:54 AM

What’s the chance someone can write the same as the DCS script for msfs??

Will3D•3/21/23, 2:05 AM

I also notice slight cogging with these motors. I thought they would be completely smooth. Is there anything that can be done? This is with the 86BLF04 btw.

Will3D•3/21/23, 5:01 AM

Interestingly, when I had the motors on the bench and just used a shifter on the shaft directly they were silky smooth. Is it due to them now being geared? And the motor having to rotate 1+ times ?

BBeamer He's doing it right solo. No employees = no BS

walmis•3/21/23, 6:04 AM

Not quite solo, I have a few freelance employees, otherwise it would be too much stuff to do solo

@ummo 15 units were shipped in February, so getting close

Though there are some supply bottlenecks that are being worked on.

walmis•3/21/23, 6:06 AM

I guess it's felt more when you move the stick faster?

Wwalmis I guess it's felt more when you move the stick faster?

Will3D•3/21/23, 6:09 AM

Actually the opposite. Seems to be more pronounced when moving slow

walmis•3/21/23, 6:16 AM

What's the gearing ratio on your's?

Try the huey and/or any warbird first once you test it out. You'll instantly fall in love again (cus you'll probably fall in love with the unboxing

) then try the F5/mirage F1 next

Polack-1•3/21/23, 5:23 PM

Oh I'm gonna go through every single module

skyPickle•3/21/23, 5:34 PM

FYI, I got my Rhino months ago (#37). FEDEX just sent me a bill for $35 labeled 'duty tax'. Is this really a thing? Did everyone else here get this? Or is FEDEX joining the rest of the corporate profiteers?

Polack-1•3/21/23, 5:40 PM

Huh, where are you based? Outside EU? FedEx brings US to mind. It's possible FedEx paid customs fee or something like that on your behalf and you got the notice only now.

FlatSpin•3/21/23, 5:53 PM

if it's over a certain dollar mount, that's normal and always has been.

walmis•3/21/23, 5:57 PM

35$ is peanuts compared to if you import anything to EU, instant 21% tax

SskyPickle FYI, I got my Rhino months ago (#37). FEDEX just sent me a bill for $35 labeled ...

ddaniel414•3/21/23, 6:09 PM

In the US, anything over $800 gets a 3% import tax added to the entire value.

Aamadeus To give some context, here’s the throw with my extension

Dr. No•3/21/23, 6:33 PM

I'm really curious how do you not get your left leg calf caught when that gear moves?
I'm on the fence here with this, I just need to think up a little bit of safety to cover up the two moving gears bc i have to have it similar to this as well.

amadeusOP•3/21/23, 6:35 PM

never even come close to being an issue

amadeusOP•3/21/23, 6:37 PM

(also worth noting -- normally my feet are extended further out cause of pedals, also i intentionally angled them inwards a bit more to show a more extreme situation, and it's still not even close to being an issue -- maaaybe if you had extremely baggy pants or something)

amadeusOP•3/21/23, 6:38 PM

not sure how clear it is -- but it's pretty out of the way from my pants, also, the large gear doesn't actually rotate that far on a full forward/backwards deflection

amadeusOP•3/21/23, 6:38 PM

like -- not even a full 360 on the large top gear

amadeusOP•3/21/23, 6:39 PM

so even if it did grab something, it's not like it's gonna wind it up

Aamadeus like -- not even a full 360 on the large top gear

walmis•3/21/23, 6:39 PM

44 degrees total, to be exact
