I'm very interested if you don't mind sharing your experience (and pics?) of your setup with the Rhino as a side stick?
How do you handle the range of movement/strength in this setup?

I'll try and remember to get it set up and take pictures. I have it mounted to a monstertech desk mount and basically just position my chair where it sits right there in front of my arm rest. Makes it comfortable and super easy to maneuver. I also have a throw limiter to stop the forward travel. Otherwise in a crash in Il2 my vkb grips trigger hits the mount.

HrEple•4/28/24, 7:17 PM

@Col. Sanders did you have to extend the aluminium profile all the way down to the floor? Hopefully receiving my rhino soon and I have the monster tech table mount. Curious to see if it can hold it. Got a virp cm2, 20mm gooseneck extension and virpil grip right now. Probably half the weight of the rhino.

HrEple•4/28/24, 7:18 PM

Also I didn’t order a throw limiter. Wondering if that is a bad idea now …

Col. Sanders•4/28/24, 7:24 PM

Nope just the long version. It vibrates me whole desk but stays rock solid for me. I do not use an extension as it sits perfect for side mount height for me.

I believe the 3D printed ones from the kit will work with the official unit.

I’d ask someone who has one or just tag @protomaker or @walmis

HrEple•4/28/24, 7:26 PM

Nice. I might add something between the table and clamp for some extra rigidity. Planning to place it in a central position. Should work - and I might order a longer profile as well to just plunge it into the floor as well as table. I have to move it around some due to kids playing other games.

Touch_Of_Legend•4/28/24, 7:29 PM

That’s me and why I use a super warthog wheel stand.

When I get to fly I take over the kids rec room and just push the stand right up to the TV but that’s also why I like my stuff to be solid but removable (wing nuts are your friend)

HrEple•4/28/24, 7:31 PM

I might see if my virp gooseneck is viable though. If I mount almost at ground level. Not sure the extension is needed though. Seems the throw is great by default.

Touch_Of_Legend•4/28/24, 7:32 PM

Print some limiters and use the extension with floor mounted

So fucking hyped, put in payment for my rhino today and put in payment for a MTSIM pilot chair today! The wait begins now!! Literally sitting here not able to sleep cuz I’m soooo excited!!

Oneill•4/29/24, 1:17 PM

Does anyone know the trade tariff for sending the FFB base to the uk ?

Zarro•4/29/24, 2:42 PM

Not that I'm currently in a position to do so but are people allowed to use the Rhino designs out there to build and sell units themself? With/Without a motor and usb controller kit.

I paid about £180. Shipping took about three weeks though with TNT so I’d recommend asking Walmis for a better shipping option.

That would depend on who made/owns the design. I don't think Walmis has his actually posted anywhere, but it's based on an open source one

Zarro•4/30/24, 2:16 PM

I don't think it would when asking. There is currently one person selling rhinos which is walmis and there's a year wait list. Different people have vastly different ideas and thoughts about others using their design for a profit. That's why I'm asking.

Piola•4/30/24, 3:46 PM

Wow, I’ve found helo grips “compatible” with Rhino base

Piola•4/30/24, 3:47 PM

Can the Rhino Base work without a stick on it?

Fierce_Fire•4/30/24, 3:51 PM

Technically yes

Fierce_Fire•4/30/24, 3:51 PM

not sure why you would though

Piola•4/30/24, 3:55 PM

I found a company that sells cyclics that work separately through a box like the dwllamVKB one, so it can be used with any base

Piola•4/30/24, 3:55 PM

They can build adapters too

Fierce_Fire•4/30/24, 3:56 PM

ah yes that is possible

I'm very interested if you don't mind sharing your experience (and pics?) of your setup with the Rhi
