@walmis I read that the VKB adapter has 6 set screws to connect it to a DIY extension solution, is this correct and if so, where would they be located? And also, if one were to use tubes to mount the adapter, what would be a recommended inner diameter for these? Thanks.

FFierce_Fire What is that extention made of? Is it a custom or a readily available part?

Reed•10/12/23, 7:57 PM

from ebay. its al.

Fierce_FireOP•10/12/23, 7:57 PM

Any idea what it might be called?

Fierce_FireOP•10/12/23, 7:58 PM

Hmm I think i found it

Fierce_FireOP•10/12/23, 7:58 PM

thank you

GGeezAlbert Hello I’m wondering if anybody is selling their design using the diy motor kit

N7783L•10/12/23, 8:10 PM

What @PiNKMuD said but there are designs pinned in this Discord in the diy-builds channel. Links to the necessary files point to Github repositories. There you can find the link to pull it all down as a zip file.

@Subsonic (Protomaker) posted this one: https://github.com/protomaker964/Rhino-FFB-Clone-3D_Printed/tree/main

And @Number481 posted this about adding force feedback to pedals: https://github.com/Number481/VirpilACE-VPForce-Mod

@Subsonic (Protomaker) - How is your 3D printed version holding up? Nice looking work!

The one Subsonic posted looks exactly like the full Rhino but I haven’t really dug into it yet.

3d Printed unit is holding up just fine. No creaks or tweaks.
Use Carbon PETG for the gimbal and stick assembly and should work fine and last a long time.

Subsonic•10/12/23, 9:24 PM

It is essentially, with a few minor differences such as the gimbal/stick and fan locations.

N7783L•10/12/23, 9:24 PM

Thanks for that, Subsonic! And thanks for posting the files!

VPforce VKB adapter looks like this.

Wwalmis I don't really understand what you're asking here 😅

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 10:41 AM

How would I attemt to attach this to something? I believe it has threads on the bottom, I could try to 3d print something that fits. Is there another method that was included or was that a solution by a diy'er? Also, what is the outer diameter of the plastic part? Ive found the dia of the metal one but not the plastic. Or do you have a step file I could use?

Stryker990•10/13/23, 10:44 AM

Ah yeah thats where it probably comes from. All good in the end though, thanks for the info you gave

Mustang 1-1•10/13/23, 3:34 PM

I don’t use it, if you are interested you can have it

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 3:54 PM

Unfortunately im in EU so shipping would be thing, plus im planning on using the vkb grip since it has the right hats/ministicks I wanna use

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 3:55 PM

I think Ill be able to use my schools' workshop to thread a tube, should be able to get things done that way

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 4:12 PM

Though on the other hand, what would the cost be for shipping to the NL?

Fierce_FireOP•10/13/23, 4:12 PM

Cause I should be able to use it to mount the vkb adapter

Snubblaren•10/14/23, 6:38 AM

Anyone who has tips for grips? Today o have x56 so I would like something with a similar layout. Is the thrustmaster warthog grip a good choice or should I go for something else?

Bob Bushman•10/14/23, 8:58 AM

You can get significant more functionality from a virpil grip for about the same price.
The TM grip I'd only consider good if you want to sim the a10.

Maybe the f16, but that use the one gimbal system the rhino doesn't simulate.

peteg•10/14/23, 12:09 PM

Hi, I filled out the pre-order form on 8/20/23 and I got a confirmation email showing the information that I entered but I didn’t get a pre-order # or anything that looked like an official confirmation. Is there a way that I can confirm if I’m on the list?

Bob Bushman•10/14/23, 12:10 PM

Pm the bot with " !Info registered email"
It could take a few days before you get assigned a number.

blave549•10/15/23, 6:44 PM

I agree. I had an Alpha, and then an Alpha Prime, but sold both and have gone back to the TMW grip on the Rhino. I just don't like the buttons/hats feel on the Virpil grips. The TMW's are more positive; I have a real grip from the 60s and the TMW's controls feel similar, albeit not quite as hard to push. I do miss the additional hats/buttons though.

I'm using the Rhino with the TM warthog stick and a 50mm extension to be able to angle it. It's perfect.

f14billy•10/16/23, 1:10 AM

PiNKSH!T•10/16/23, 5:09 AM

hey m8, basically anything from VKB, Virpil or Winwing, if you don't care about having the saem grip as the sim aircraft I would go for either the VKB Modern Combat Grip Ultimate or Virpil Mongoose T-50CM2 or the Winwing F-16EX grip.

Which extension you are using? I haven’t been able to find 5cm extension which could be angled.

GGeezAlbert hi guys, how long is the wait for the motors?

I bought Virpil's 50mm and 75mm extensions for testing. I am using the 50mm tube with the 75mm cable. It is able to fit in there. It was tricky to make it fit but doable.

@walmis I read that the VKB adapter has 6 set screws to connect it to a DIY extension solution, is t
