Almost 400, I'm currently #388, if it holds at this I might have it sometime after New years 2025.

MGood things come to those who are patient......
BPut in a reservation yesterday. Any ideas long it usually takes to get a the bot status updated and a serial number assigned?
BGot mine in few hours after but there is a long weekend going on in parts of Europe.
WUpdated the numbers, you can check in a few mins 
BAlmost 400 to go! Looks like it’s time to settle in for a long wait
BI'm guessing, maybe Christmas 2024.
BIf it is, it is. From what I’ve seen of this device, it’ll totally be worth the wait.
JAbsolutely. And think of all the little improvements he'll have made to the hardware and software by the time he gets to your order
JIt will only get better with time, and it is already really good.
BBut think of all this time I'll be flying with a spring/cam gimbal like a peasant.
BAt least I can now blame my apache crashes on me not having "my stickbase yet"..
JI really want the virpil apache collective
BI've been eyeing one, but was just going to use my ol constellation delta, the old ambidextrous one.
NMy 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.
Jthats pretty cool
D378 to go for mine.
BI've checked the bot enough now, that when I type an '!' It auto suggest "info" and my email.
PI 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

Just not for you
KI'm exited 
S@walmis has been continually updating the product, probably will benefit from having a large number produced!
BI 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!
V111? Only like 75 more to go.

DPossible to sent 26 this week? 
JI’m excited FOR you. Haha
Jparts 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.

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

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

DIts been on the hotas discord for a while
DGaz is being remodelled
BYep. Missed it somehow. New channels show up there now and again and I don’t always give ‘em the look I ought to. Glad to be here now though
DMaybe I should ping everyone when a new channel (official) is up
DI think I’ll do that in future
DSo no one misses out
BYeah might be a good idea.
BPart of my issue to is having my first child about 8 months ago, so not paying as close attention as I had in the past
BIts mostly in the faq, €800 euro for the unit +shipping, check the #
faq channel for diy kit variations.
Lead time is currently written down as 12 months, but considering its probably closer to two years now..

DAh!!! This is prob more important than a first child, after your first few years of the child, you’ll be tired/sleep deprived, The RHINO wont make you feel like that, its joy the whole time and after 18 years you want to get rid of your kid (kick them out of the house), the RHINO you dont want to get rid of
BI’ve definitely been thinking the same thing 
DSeriously tho, congrats and train them well in the ways of flights sims
BThere's a reason your friends vanish from the face of the earth once they have kids. And then you see them again 12 years later looking like zombies with ruined clothes and the "I havent slept a full night in 10 years" complexion.
BHaha thanks man! Definitely looking forward to the day I can introduce him to the pit
