DI had a similar problem with my DOF Reality H6 motion platform, very tight on space in front of the seat as well.
I wanted the Rhino to be easily swapped out and I alsi wanted to be able to climb aboard without struggling to lift my leg over it. So I use a large flat plate that swivels in one corner. It's easily moved into place and yet holds the base very firmly. Q4Rigs plates weren't around when I was looking for ways to quick change my other controls so I use powerful neodym magnets instead. They attach like limpet mines and have just enough grip to be firmly held, yet are easily detached with a firm twist to one side.
Here's a short video of me climbing aboard my H6, and then lening forward to swivel the plate round after my legs are in place.

DYeah, wasnt too bad

RHINO #0321 Has Shipped!
B
hmm it finally updated on tracking, but the email suggests delivery on Friday the 22/12. I doubt that will work out for them.
Ashould be fine, that just means you'll have to wait about a year
BNah they even specified 2023
BGuess I'll have to wait until the universe restarts and comes back around
WThe UPS tracking lags a bit because our carrier delivers the packages to UPS Poland first (that takes a couple of business days, hence no UPS tracking the first couple of days) plus the Christmas holidays lagged things even more lol
BThat's what I assumed as well
I just marvel at ups' confidence they can time travel is all.
Certainly can't fault you, i got the availability notice, payment, and shipping notification with tracking number in less than eight hours.
My guess you got it out half an hour before everyone took off for christmas.

WYeah that's about right 
BAt least hope you and yours have had a happy holiday 
WThanks, had a bit of R&R during Christmas weekend. Hope yours was great too!
JActually really enjoy mine. Get SimShaker for Aviators (free) while you're at it.
Vnice..is it sturdy enough?
VThat plate is you highlitghed is too low, and you would not have the space to mount the rhino (it would be obstructed by the keyboard tray and by the central arm).
What I plan to do is to mount that central arm lower (to the next holes) and use a 3d printed plate which attaches directly to it.
I found this one on the internet...it's for the winwing orion 2....

maybe someone with the skills can design a larger one for the rhino
or the same can be adapted some way. A wooden base with the same dimensions of the Rhino lower base can be screwed to it.
The alternative is to don't mount the central arm...and floor mount the rhino with a large wooden base.
It would not be optimal for me as I don't want to use extensions...but it could be a solution

LThat's what I did, I took an MDF base plate of 55 x 90 cm, some 2 by 4 and an Ikea chair (which Buttkicker broke already 
). But if you can lower the round plate low enough, I'd try attaching base plate to that first

This could be a nice base for a FFB Yoke. At 13:30 min. you can see the inside.

A detailed review of the features and performance of the new SmartFly Yoke from Ray Dynamics in India. Similar to the Yoko+ in many ways but at a fraction of the cost could this be for you? See it in action and hear my pros and cons before a final recommendation.
ACosts 399$ without Tax, shipping, etc.
SI preorded mine in may of this year, so what 7ish months?
SHonestly way less than I thought it would be. I trully wasn't expeting it till next year
SAnd now the bottleneck to playing with it is lack of mount lol. Never thought monstertec would be the delay here
SMonster tech has been out of stock for all kinds of thing. I had to order the MiP thing from Germany.
SI guess I have a ways out to start planning on how to set it up.
SNo, the dimentions are all diffrent. You'll need to either purchase one or make one unfrotunatly. The Virpil mouse pad "plate" is actually big enough, but you'd still need to at least drill your own holes through the steel.
Soh boy lol
SI thought there was an option to order the Mostertech mounting plate. Maybe I read that wrong
SThere is. But I don't have ANY monstertech stuff so I just ordered a full table mount from them directly. They offer a rhino plate on their site.
SGot it. I have the monstertech stuff already. I was thinking about going with the Chassis setup, but ill probably run in to problems mounting the Rhino on there.
DAh, so it will require a custom mount?
SI've been reading that people are having to drill holes, and modify things to make it work
S3d printing things etc.
DHmmmm. I do not mind drilling to mount it to a QR4Rigs base plate.
SYou would think if monstertech has a mounting plate for it, it should fit on to whatever.
DLike a dummy I did not order the monster tech plate when I paid for my Rhino order.
Swe can switch spots and you can have a second chance lol
SI'm sure you can add it on to your order
BAnd there isn't a need to cue for any of the extras.
Fedex might laugh on the way to the bank, but no need to wait another 7++ months

SMonster tech offers a VP rhino mounting option for all their stick mounts on their website. So you can always just get that
DUgh'. Then I have to get a quick release for the monster tech mount. Imagine if there was a common mounting system! The mind boggles!
AHi everyone. I build custom flight simulators and am looking at adding force feedback to one of them. What kit should I order that will be the most powerful? We have a dual linked yoke setup and will connect the motors into the control system but it will need to be rather powerful. Are these system tested for high load for 5+ minutes, or will they overheat/break? Any tips would be great.
DWhat does that offer that the software doesn’t already?
JFrom what I gathered (not an expert) it was just much more catered to flying instead of driving sims.
JI’ve never used the shipped software
DWhat does the software look like, what options does it have?
JIt automatically chooses what type of aircraft you’re flying. Like when I hop in a helo versus a jet airplane
JIntensity, zone testing, etc.
JIt’s free, so worth a try
DThis is what the native software looks like
Jpleasantly surprised they're putting work into it
