I don't have any with the connector in them anymore but it's 6.00mm from the top lip to the floor the connector mounts on. Same dimension on Warthog and Cougar.

To be fair, it would only be joystick porn. And I mean, who doesn't like a good looking joystick you can touch and shake, and that isn't just limp but also moves with force?

So now that my Rhino is not too far away, anybody got any genius ideas to repurpose the MSFFB2 I’ve been using? Besides put a new grip on it and sell it, of course.

How you going to mount it ? I got the monster tech plate but not sure it’s going to work for my pit. Awaiting a new cable before I cut my cyclic down and install.

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:04 PM

I've got a TrakRacer TR120 cockpit and I plan to add additional aluminum profile to the bottom to create a place below, that I will then bolt the monster tech mount to. If I need it, I'll add additional profiling to have fully support the length of the monstertech mount as well. Doing it this way, + using a 200mm extension, I measured it should be comfortable enough without getting in the way of anything else.

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:09 PM

🧰support I think this setup by Vulcan is quite similar to what I want to do. I will have mine further away from the chair mount, and possibly lower (because the frame of my cockpit is deeper being 120x40 not 40x40/80x40)

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:11 PM

More specifically I intend to get a 4080 500mm long beam to attach to the bottom of my frame

Reed•5/15/23, 8:13 PM

That’s more than likely what ill do. But if I could the rhino closer to the floor so I don’t need to trim my cyclic extension as much would be nice. Does a right angle 8040 piece exist.

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:14 PM

You could emulate a monstertech mount for right angle - have a short piece go down vertically, and have another piece attach to that horizontally

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:15 PM

For info, my cockpit is raised off the ground with caster wheels which give a good 3 inch clearance from the very bottom of the frame. So I have 3 whole inches below the cockpit frame with which to have 8040 to put my rhino on top of

Duchess ✈•5/15/23, 8:17 PM

I am eager to see how guys are mounting these. I currently have a TM and have a Virpil CM3 on back order. I have a Foxx Mount plate to go from TM to Virpil mount.

Duchess ✈•5/15/23, 8:17 PM

I am assuming the bottom of the Rhino is solid, correct?

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:17 PM

i have my chair very raised on the chair mount, so from the very bottom of my cockpit frame to the top of the bucket part of the seat is a good 16 inches (or 406.4mm)

DDuchess ✈I am assuming the bottom of the Rhino is solid, correct?

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:18 PM

The entire bottom of the Rhino is basically a monstertech mount at triple thickness

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:18 PM

possibly quadruple

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:18 PM

very heavy duty

Duchess ✈•5/15/23, 8:19 PM

Might be interesting trying to figure out how to mount it.

Reed•5/15/23, 8:19 PM

Kinda like this

DDuchess ✈Might be interesting trying to figure out how to mount it.

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:19 PM

If you click to the support channel message I linked they are mounting it directly using the bottom of the rhino, and not the monstertech mount

RReed Kinda like this

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:20 PM

oh you mean a 8020 piece at a 90 degree angle

Duchess ✈•5/15/23, 8:20 PM

I will take a further look. I am so far down on the order order that I have plenty of time.

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:22 PM

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:23 PM

just another method to fasten, but this would be 'hidden'

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:23 PM

Obviously not as rigid as external bolting methods

Reed•5/15/23, 8:24 PM

Currently how it’s connected with virpil. The rhino needs to sit flush on the floor and connect to cross beam I’ll cut and place on the floor attached to bottom

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:24 PM

The more I dig the deeper I go down a rabbit hole of things not actual 8020 profiling to allow for right angles

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:25 PM

Looking at the pic the Rhino will definitely be a little taller

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:25 PM

(oh flush on a different part I'm silly

)

Reed•5/15/23, 8:26 PM

Using the monster tech mount to the point of contact is on the front of rhino

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/15/23, 8:27 PM

I'm sure you've seen already, but showing again for posterity for anyone else who sees convo in the future

They use a special kind of 8020 fastener which requires a special cut of 8020 to fasten at a 90 degree angle, which is then used for the monster tech mount to affix to the cockpit
