How you going to mount it ? I got the monster tech plate but not sure itβs going to work for my pit. Awaiting a new cable before I cut my cyclic down and install.
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.
π§°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)
Thatβs more than likely what ill do. But if I could the rhino closer to the floor so I donβt need to trim my cyclic extension as much would be nice. Does a right angle 8040 piece exist.
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
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.
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)
Currently how itβs connected with virpil. The rhino needs to sit flush on the floor and connect to cross beam Iβll cut and place on the floor attached to bottom
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
Would 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
I have two, both have been converted to have the CH Fighterstick Pro Grip/handle on them, one being a shaft extension version as well, no idea, I guess I will sell one of them, and keep one as a backup, the one pictured retains the twist rudder whilst the other version with the extended handle does not.
I might convert it (the old MSFFB2) to 3D printed grip like a B8 or Spitfire or KG12. I was wondering if I could convert it to pulleys/gears for my rudder. Thatβd be pretty cool
@CapnFlint I added the B8 grip from an old TM topgun stick, and a 500mm carbon fiber rod, since I added extra resistors. Would be a nice gift for someone as an intro to ffb!
Hey guys, just wondering if this kit can be used for something like a seat mover? In other words could you pull motion data from a sim and drive Surge, Sway and Yaw in a seat?
#faq #knowledge-base has the info you need. I think there is an open source thing on github that could be used to interface with that in such a capacity but it might require some additional code writing on your part
We're very early days software wise for Rhino related stuff. For example current iteration does not have rudder pedals yet afaik (referring to an answer from walmis in #support a day or 2 ago)
Sadly mine has had a small fault ever since new - #3 doesn't register every time unless you press it in a particular way, which I suppose you learn to do after a while of ownership
I have a feeling that this is one of those things that you have to be looking for to find out. At least when I'm in a slip trying to hit my aiming point, the particular feel of the rudder pedals is not high on my list of things to think about. Appreciate you flying and finding the answer. I'll be back in the 2-33 in a couple weeks and will take careful note as well.
This is my first attempt at a variation on the shaft winding photos posted. I need to find a better way to secure the slippery, synthetic, zero stretch fishing line or move to the steel braided cable I also have. Overall the mechanism seems to work as expected though. 13:1 gear ratio. No backlash. No need for an exact timing belt. Just a prototype but Iβm pleased so far.
