CThat only shows the rhino and accessories. Nothing on the mfg ffb mod.
FI didn't know there was a pre-order form for the mfg ffb mod.
HIs there anything similar planned for the Virpil Ace pedals?
I have seen very good instructions on GitHib for a DIY solution but no kit that I am aware of

Fit's been requested on the wishlist, along with winwing and mfg.
RI'm wondering that too
DMe too!
YHow do you know what is your order in the queue after completing the pre-order form?

RHINO #0538 Has Shipped!
CDamn you’re quick getting that shipped. Cannot wait. No just need to work out a way to mount it on my setup. 
CAnyone else attach one of these to a monstertech desk mount? It is the XL length luckily
HThere is a monstertech mount for the Rhino offered as an accessory I heard
TI would look into alternative mount solutions.
After looking at figuring out a mount for myself I had originally wanted to go with a floor mount and extension but now I’m thinking the more accurate throw comes from a pedestal mount because the gimbal of the base itself is so far down it’s like having an extension already

TAlso it’s just heavy… I wouldn’t want to use a table mount even if they made one.
AThere is a desk in that picture somewhere?

FOh, a dedicated Tomcat cockpit! That is unique!
FJust want to say the process was simple and easy and shipment was fast!!!! Thanks so much for great support and shipping. I can't wait to try this out
TGod dang that’s a serious mount!!
And does it have a brace on the bottom?
I’m thinking of doing a pedestal because I don’t want to use the extension..
After running it through a few mock walkthroughs (alerion and control surface checks).
The throw is pretty wide already so I love the unit how it is.
How are you liking the unit without an extension?
(Should also allow us to get slightly stronger feedback as well)

JI did 3d printed support. Nothing fancy but it gives additional strength.
I don't need a extension, I even limited especially the forward throw, as well as the rest, to mimic the F-14 stick in game. I run kind of strong forces, which work out well, hard dogfight though will bring the rhino into thermal scale down. Throws off a little muscle memory but that is mostly lost in the moment. For warbirds and Helos a extension might be something to consider, but I don't miss one. Pretty happy as it is.

HI´m waiting for that message:"RHINO #0537 Has Shipped!" ... Fingers crossed
SRHINO #0537 Has Shipped!
You're welcome

TThat was just dirty 
You guys so bad

LChecked the FAQ, and sry if this is available somewhere else but my pre-order is finally close! Woot!
Is there anything I have to do? Will I be auto charged and it'll ship? Thx!

Fyou should get an email, so check spam regularly
Fit should have an invoice you can pay, after which itll ship within a few days
II signed up for the MFG FFB kit, any update on when those are expected to start going out?
II haven't even bought the pedals themselves yet. Waiting until I get closer to receiving my kit. I have Logitech pedals that work fine for the time being.
Swhats the difference between the vpforce 57BLF03 and other versions?
NAnyone got the info for the motor kits? Looking at building a collective. Looking at the ideal motor for a collective. what mounting hole pattern spacing, shaft diameter and the ideal belt ratio.

faq
faqDLook for the Virpil Collective thread on this discord. That will give you some ideas of retrofitting to an existing collective. I believe there is also someone else who built a collective from scratch. I'm half way through the Virpil mod. Just waiting for a longer belt.
NI'll be building from scratch
Nfound dimensions online. one other question is there a way to wire a separate non ffb axis to the diy kit?
AThe potentiometer inputs can be assigned as axes in configurator.
TThe numbers are the size.
The larger size are stronger motors but the large ones are for pedals mostly or for custom builds.
The DIY kit is designed around the 57’s

Sare the 57s enough or should I go for something bigger when I build mine?
SI'm getting kind of fed up with my WW Libra base, clunky and sloppy around center. Should I get another spring base now or hold out for the Rhino waiting list?
I'm currently SN #1172
I'm currently SN #1172
NYou will never regret the rhino
HOh, you are so fu*%$& baaaad ...
SOh I have no doubt, I'm just not sure I want to hang onto the Libra until I get it. I'm looking into the Orion 2 now. It would be nice to remain in the WW ecosystem so I can keep using their amazing FA-18 grip. But there are also tempting offers from Verpil and VPC that more closely reflect helicopter cyclics in both grip and stem.
Lots to ponder
Lots to ponder
TDue to the wait times on a Rhino (unless you DIY)
I recommend sticking to all current gear until you grab the Rhino.
After that rebuild the rig around the new much larger base.
I was originally thinking extension but due to the height of the unit and the length of the shaft on the Rhino it’s like having an extension already so you may need to adjust things to get them back into proper flight positions.
So I say… keep the WW base and you’ll really have something to look forward to when the Rhino comes.
The actual wait list is like 7months and the bot can tell you the average wait per unit is like.. 200ish days.
So get on that list now!
Happy flying

TOr if you are the DIY type it really is a great build 
SI already am on the list. There's 600 odd units ahead of me
TThe list moves slowly… 1 or 2 a day and then suddenly it’s updated with all the drop outs and you’ll fall like 100 overnight!
TAlso you’ll be able to see the live updates and they ship them every single day (usually a few)
SHmm, yeah. I did JUST do a full new PC build and pit mounting upgrade so I'll sit on this one for a while
TUsually you can figure something out and some of the makers are beginning to sell Rhino mounts for sim rigs (I think the one I saw was from simfab?)
