I ended up with 4.25mm from top of threads to top of the connector. Seems to engage well and the thread still bottoms out as intended
MSeems a reasonable distance, the connector probably adds something between 1 and 1.75
WThere's a mechanical drawing pdf that has the mounting points defined in faq

DHappy Mother’s Day guys! Looking for examples if anyone has mounted a Rhino to a DOFReality H6/P6.
KYou sure that's what you want? I didn't think porn was allowed on this server.
JTo 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?
DI am still waiting on a Virpil base to arrive.
KI get 5.0mm from top of threads to the top of the metal plate surrounding the DIN connector.
Jfantastic! thanks! guessing and checking got me within .75 mm. Thanks for your help
CSo 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.

JGoodness. Just pumping them out lately.

TSame here, number 98
JI'm 96 I believe
JIt is here 
dropped a buncha unboxing pics and a short vid in #
showcase Feels good to have a nice phone with a decent camera
I won't be able to use it until July or August most likely, still need to get all the necessary extra 8040 parts to add onto my rig to mount it + my other flight sim gear

PI can't wait to play with this stick, this MSFFB2 has served me 20 odd years , so long my old reliable friend 
CGot any ideas for it? I also have one I need to figure out what to do with too
RHow 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.
JI'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.
J🧰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)
JMore specifically I intend to get a 4080 500mm long beam to attach to the bottom of my frame
RThat’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.
JYou could emulate a monstertech mount for right angle - have a short piece go down vertically, and have another piece attach to that horizontally
JFor 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
DI 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.
DI am assuming the bottom of the Rhino is solid, correct?
Ji 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)
JThe entire bottom of the Rhino is basically a monstertech mount at triple thickness
Jpossibly quadruple
Jvery heavy duty
DMight be interesting trying to figure out how to mount it.
RKinda like this
JIf 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
Joh you mean a 8020 piece at a 90 degree angle
DI will take a further look. I am so far down on the order order that I have plenty of time.
J
Jjust another method to fasten, but this would be 'hidden'
JObviously not as rigid as external bolting methods
RCurrently 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
JThe more I dig the deeper I go down a rabbit hole of things not actual 8020 profiling to allow for right angles
JLooking at the pic the Rhino will definitely be a little taller
J(oh flush on a different part I'm silly 
)
)RUsing the monster tech mount to the point of contact is on the front of rhino
JI'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

Jpic from below
JWould something like that work perhaps? You could even have the vertical part mount underneath the floor part you have on top of the frame on the other side of where you have the cyclic currently, then you could have extra room with which to make the rhino flush with the cockpit
