RIntrested 
BNah, he's abandoning the production to focus on family and mental health, and also issuing a full recall on shipped devices and kits due to an issue with the motors.
B-- After a two week break he is ready to get back at it..."where was I? oh yeah, #500."
SYou guys 
BIndeed, if I heard it would at some point catch fire, I'd just setup in a concrete housing to control the inevitable fire.
ICould someone do me a HUGE favor? If you have a Rhino with a Winwing 16EX on it, can you measure the overall height of the whole shabang?
II'm trying to judge how much of an extension I want so I'd really love to know how tall the Rhino + Winwing adapter + 16EX is without an extension
Oanyway of copying my thrustmaster warthog stick profile and pasting to the VP Rhino profile in msfs , there is an option to duplicate but only for the same controller, weird?
CI don't have the 16ex, but I have their f-18 grip and I'm pretty sure overall height is the same / very similar. I have the winwing adjustable extension on and I have it adjusted as short as it will go at the moment. Overall height from the floor is almost exactly 26 inches / 66 centimeters. Winwing adaptor plus the extension is 6 inches / 15 centimeters.
IThank you!

MHoping this helps a bit. My DIY Rhino setup on on a SimFab rig, with the base about as low as possible on their metal mount plate. I can use the 16EX with no extension, but it is a bit too low. After some experimenting, I printed a 60mm extension, and that's about perfect with the height of the WW adapter as well. Happy to provide more details of measurements if you want.
IThat does help! Can you measure from the bottom of the rhino all the way to the top of the stick?
IActually wait, I’ve got it. I can just add the height of the rhino in lol
ICool. I’ve got what I need. Thanks to those who helped out!
IGot my notification my Rhino is almost done. Can’t wait.
OI had to turn the rhino in opposite to get the thrustmaster stick closer Now it doesn't recognise button press, anything I may have missed? Cheers
OFixed, I had to turn around the little plug on the stick.
Mthat looks so cool
Oin vp configurator which grip type is recommended for a thrustmaster ? currently using generic.
ODo you have to use both the configurator and TelemFFB together or 1 or the other?
AYup, thrustmasters use the generic grip profile.
ATelemffb is optional if you want extra effects such as engine vibrations, deceleration forces pulling the stick forward, gun vibrations etc. Configurator is for configuring the "global" settings for the Rhino base and, should one need it, creating per-aircraft profiles (different stick movement ranges, Rhino-based force trim etc.)
Aare there any sticks that are typically recommended to go with the rhino base?
FVirpil is inherently compatible so if you're fine with their offerings id go for that (or any other virpil compatible stick)
FWinwing is another easy option, only requiring the adapter, while vkb needs both adapter and one of their black boxes. Benefit for vkb is that you retain their software to program the stick rather than utilizing walmis' application
Agotcha. Is thrustmaster compatible as well?
Ayes
FI have the TM F-16 add-on grip and the Virpil Constellation Alpha. Using the 200mm extension by Virpil. I prefer the Virpil.
SThe WinWing grips, do they interface well?
MThey need an adapter that adds like 50mm? To the height of the stem but work just fine
TMy F-16EX is excellent, I love it.
SSo electrically they are compatible with TM?
SCool
WQuick question about the Rhino - has Walmis suggested he’d build a version with higher peak force? Some competitors are getting up to 35 Nm of peak force which seems a fair bit higher than what’s on offer with Rhino.
Fmine already wants to rip itself out of my hand in certain situations lol
MThankfully yes but for some reason winning use a 6pin miniDIN instead of 5
WMan, I wish I could test it all out. Rhino seems like it’s quite polished for such a small operation. I’m worried about the motors getting too hot under decent load. If there are other motors that produce 5x peak torque I’d think that’d make them run cooler and provide more longevity.
AThe Rhino has fans which kicks in when it starts getting hot. For me they rarely turn on for normal use, only when pushing hard for long time do the fans enable at all. So I think temperature is well under control with the Rhino
BI'm too dumb/lazy to figure this out but if I limit the throw of the Rhino to 70% in each axis with a 15 cm extension. What % would that equate to if you changed it to a 10 cm extension?
WAwesome, thanks for the info
SWhat's the limits? I can see in CAD
S20 degrees?
B22° I think?
BBut with my 70% imposed limit it comes to 15.4°
TTo solve the geometry, you need to know what the length is from the gimbal pivot to the extension. I don’t have a Rhino, so I don’t know what that number is. If you measure from the center of the pivot to the top of the stub or to the top of a known extension length, I can figure it out pretty quickly with a CAD sketch.
RYeah that's why I'm surprised the other guy got his to work (and doesn't have heat issues) while having a much higher torque
