How complicated is to make the collective with hydraulic dampener?
How complicated is to make the collective with hydraulic dampener?
PI'm still looking around for a good collective
FYou can't replicate the apaches force trim with just dampers, and I presume there are more helos with similar functionality
FHow the apache trim works is you get normal spring force, until you press trim up, after which all the springs dissappear and it turns into a dead stick
Poh well I understand

KOver 900 Rhinos before me... considering my options. Is here somebody who can compare Rhino and rudder pedals with VPforce motors vs Brunner? I tried to ask some questions, so far didn't get any response so customer support not the best. What about FFB quality and how difficult it is to get the products up and running for the first time?
Fa load of people don't actually end up ordering the Rhino when their time is up. If you can wait half a year I'd just wait for the Rhino.
I can't compare it with the Brunner but have heard that the Brunner is a bit weaker

FOr you can DIY if you can find someone with a 3d printer
TThere is a guy selling the 3d printed parts in the DIY section, you just need to add electronics kit from Walmis
TI believe EU only tho
TOr just ask @Will3D
He has both the Brunner and the Rhino and said he was ready to sell his Brunner gear after he finally got the Rhino set up.
So ask him his experiences

T(Don’t ask to buy his gear I was referencing his previous comments)
KOk thank you, I will ask @Will3D
DIY would be option, but I am not very manually capable
it would took me months to make something with uncertain result. So I would definitely preferer to buy something ready to use.

SI'd happily buy a Rhino base kit if one were cleared for shipment outside the EU, along with the motor kit currently available.
.I hopethat is true because I have 800 before me lol
.I did the math and the average amount of rhinos a week is 8 , that pulls me in 25 months wait time

BThere are corrections to the queue sometimes, i signed up last September with position 466 and my unit was ready to ship 6 months later.
TI cant use alc while using Rhione.The plane cant hold the right AOA.
KI am wondering...do you have some special flight chair? I will need chair (not necessarily expensive one). Anyway it would be nice to get chair compatible with Virpil collective adapter so I can mount collective without modifications.
What chair do you have ?

LSo how do we figure out what position we are. I checked me email and it never told me. And i texted this bot 10 times and it just keeps saying it doesn't understand
LInfo
L@info
NIt's not
@info it is !info <your email>LIt still doesn't understand
LIs there not a way to find our order number somehow? It was never emailed to us?
LI thought i screen shotted it but cant find it somehow
Fdo it in a single line like shown by Number
LI did on the first reply
LThe 2nd reply i hit the space bar
Ntheres no space between
!info and your email (P.S... your email still shows in the replies by the bot in your screenshot)Fleave space between info and mail but in one line
LNice
LLmao
LOk ill try again
FI am also pretty certain that you won't get a mail about your position.
just confirmation that you are on the list and then when you are able to order.

LGot it thanks
LOnce i hit retirement i should be able to order it looks like 
LLHas there been any talk about maybe ffb for the new winwing pedals?
LJust got them a couple weeks ago
Athe prediction is quite pessimistic, people drop out of the queue so you'll get yours probably a fair bit sooner than that
LYeah i definitely see how people will drop out. A lot of money for a long time away to hope you are still in the hobby lol
LBut when im 850 away and only 500 have been shipped, ( in the last 5 years?) it doesn't look the best
NActually, no. About 420 have been shipped in the last 12 months.
Ait's more like 2 years and the pace is improving
NI got #85 at the beginning of may ‘23. And production has ramped significantly since then.
