Rhino is superior to the Brunner in almost every way though, particularly when it comes to software and ability to make it work when no native FFB is integrated into a game/module

B34ker•5/27/23, 6:33 PM

Put in a reservation yesterday. Any ideas long it usually takes to get a the bot status updated and a serial number assigned?

Bob Bushman•5/27/23, 6:37 PM

Got mine in few hours after but there is a long weekend going on in parts of Europe.

walmis•5/27/23, 6:37 PM

Updated the numbers, you can check in a few mins

B34ker•5/27/23, 6:43 PM

Almost 400 to go! Looks like it’s time to settle in for a long wait

Bob Bushman•5/27/23, 6:45 PM

I'm guessing, maybe Christmas 2024.

B34ker•5/27/23, 6:50 PM

If it is, it is. From what I’ve seen of this device, it’ll totally be worth the wait.

Jon (Bounty_V)OP•5/27/23, 6:58 PM

Absolutely. And think of all the little improvements he'll have made to the hardware and software by the time he gets to your order

Jon (Bounty_V)OP•5/27/23, 6:58 PM

It will only get better with time, and it is already really good.

Bob Bushman•5/27/23, 8:33 PM

But think of all this time I'll be flying with a spring/cam gimbal like a peasant.

Bob Bushman•5/27/23, 8:34 PM

At least I can now blame my apache crashes on me not having "my stickbase yet"..

Jon (Bounty_V)OP•5/27/23, 9:13 PM

I really want the virpil apache collective

Bob Bushman•5/27/23, 9:18 PM

I've been eyeing one, but was just going to use my ol constellation delta, the old ambidextrous one.

JJon (Bounty_V)I really want the virpil apache collective

Number481•5/27/23, 9:19 PM

My home made collective works pretty well today. But I plan on modifying it to be FFB with a single motor kit and slapping a left handed constellation (non prime) on it.

Jon (Bounty_V)OP•5/27/23, 9:30 PM

thats pretty cool

Duchess ✈•5/27/23, 10:44 PM

378 to go for mine.

Bob Bushman•5/27/23, 10:52 PM

I've checked the bot enough now, that when I type an '!' It auto suggest "info" and my email.

Phantom•5/28/23, 5:33 PM

I know there is tons of comments already, but mine arrived, not used it yet, but first impressions of the build quality are very very pleasing, looks well made and beautifully put together, certainly feels a quality product, thanks Walmis, look forward to maybe using it tomorrow

Anyone who is buying from the UK, you import duty and charges etc will be around £152.00 for your reference.

AndyHill•5/28/23, 7:29 PM

checking the bot makes the rhino arrive earlier

Scotia•5/29/23, 2:49 PM

@walmis has been continually updating the product, probably will benefit from having a large number produced!

B34ker•5/29/23, 2:54 PM

I guess my only concern with such a long line ahead of me and a single person handling all the production, would be issues related to scaling (e.g. parts supply issues) and/or burn-out on the part of walmis... I mean, it sounds like he's got years of repetitive tasks ahead of him. I hope he doesn't get overwhelmed or sick of it!

Viktor Martin•5/29/23, 4:49 PM

111? Only like 75 more to go.

Jon (Bounty_V)OP•5/29/23, 8:02 PM

parts supply sourcing is actually part of why production has picked up.

you aren't sent an invoice until your order is ready so not much risk of losing money on something you won't receive

also you have the freedom to leave the line at any time and get something else or just wait longer.

I do agree this has probably become far more popular than walmis initially expected, and it would certainly be nice to see him able to work on this project long term. I think long term it would definitely need more people working on it to both a) ramp up production and b) allow some headroom for resting etc.

Bob Bushman•5/29/23, 8:13 PM

I'd rather have it stay at 20, or even drop some as long he doesn't overwork himself.

B34ker•5/29/23, 10:17 PM

Yeah, I just worry when there's a single producer and a ton of popularity for a product. Obviously some, like Slaw or Milan, do just fine with it... but others fall apart. The fact that Walmis has already shipped 100 units breeds a lot of confidence though. Just hope he can maintain that (as there's still 400 more till my turn!)

I just wish I had found this community sooner! I had no idea what FFB bases were capable of till I found (thanks to vague mention on a reddit post) some of Walmis's videos last week. The Rhino just seems like the perfect next step for my pit.

JIGGAwest•5/30/23, 1:21 AM

anyone fly the gazelle with the VPforce base? The force trim system seems to behave erratic at times.

Caprice•5/30/23, 2:07 AM

Hello, here to probably ask the annoying obvious questions that everyone asks.
How much does the Rhino cost?
What are the current estimates on lead times?
Thanks and sorry for being that guy.
