If you’re running the Rhino at lower force settings, will it overheat often?

Hjust wanna personally thank @walmis and @Subsonic (Protomaker) for this amazing Project, you made many simmers -including me- happy!
Aif you go low enough it won't overheat pretty much ever
Fmine never went above 35°C yet. lol
SAll the credit goes to @walmis
It is his genius invention, I just put together the instructions for how to built one.
We all love this hobby. Happy to help smooth the process for all the DIY folks.

MI've run mine reasonably high for going on a year now, and I haven't even heard the fan turn on, let alone have any overheat issues
PHey guys, I pre-ordered the Rhino and from what I understand, when the time comes to purchase I will be able to add the various optional components that I haven't selected yet, is that correct?
FYes
FStuff like adapters should come then
PThank you !
ZLooking at this again, the desire to start building one of these myself is growing once again. I‘m sure I will today, once again dream of flying the apache with proper force trim.

Poh thanks m8, where was that in the faq?
GI didn't see it in the faq, only published here in General by Walmis.
Pahh cool, is it pinned? might be handy
GTrue, I looked in the Pins but also couldn't find it there.
ASo beautiful!!!
BI'm happy to say I got #500!!!
I asked Walmis to sign it...

BWill have to mount it in a display case, and order another one then
Band he immediately stashes it in a warehouse to never be seen again
SInb4 its slips out of his hands the moment he gets his hands on it and it just shatters into a million pieces :gigakekw:
Jis there any problem/conflict in using the vpforce ffb stick with motion platforms (sending telemetry to more than one place at a time in DCS/xplane/msfs)?
Five seen a few ppl use it with motion rig so id assume no
Sworks fine in msfs. telemetry goes to vpforce, flypt, simhaptic, SPAD, littlenavmap, and probably a few others i cant remember, without issue

IWhat sort of wait-times are we at-at the moment?
Ias in, if I ordered now would I get it before the end of 2024?
FI have waited basically exactly 6 months so end of 2024 might be possible
Ialright that's an insane wait time
Istill tempted
I:((
Fstill shorter wait time than for Phantom and Kiowa Warrior
TWhich motors does the Rhino has inside?
2 x 86BLF03?

CRhino is mounted into the simrig
FNice setup, dude! must be complete at this point! 
CWe‘ll see. I have some goodies in my mind 
BYeah, I agree it's a bit vague, but it won't let me edit. I was wondering what length stick extension everyone used.
Fdid you get that aluminium thread mount or did you mount it on the standard one?
CNo, it‘s the standard one.
CI don‘t plan changing the extension too often. But I think about getting it.
MFYI if anyone is considering getting a simpit for the Rhino, Simfab has a mount for it now. Just added one to my "DCS" Simfab frame. https://simfab.com/product/vpforce-rhino-ffb-stick-base-bracket/
SimFab and OpenWheeler Officialmanager
This offer is for a custom made bracket kit to retrofit VPforce Rhino FFB base on SimFab framework. Stick base mounts on SimFab seat frame center tube. Bracket replaces and deletes the standard “centered stick lower mount bracket”. Kit has fixed height and no adjustment on seat base height. Overall stick height can be adjusted
