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

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

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?)
TI was originally floor mounting but now I’m settling on a pedestal because it’s more accurate throw and the Rhino just feels… amazing at the perfect throw
SMy plan is to mount it to the baseboard I just made for my pit with a cyclic style extension and throw limit blocks
TSmart I love it!
TThere are some great builds floating around so I love seeing how everybody does something slightly different
SMe too, it's great to see
TGives me so many ideas hahaha I just could never build them all
SMOOD!
Sthis baseboard build I just did is the first time I've had all the simpit hardware hard mounted effectively to its self in all my time flying DCS. I cannot emphasise how great it feels to give a boot full of rudder and not worry about the pedals or seat shifting
TBig facts big facts
TInstead of crab steering (flying) it’s crab seating hahahaha
NI couldn't see how to do it sadly
AHere's a reference pic of the controller board, where the extra pots are wired in, and configurator setting for using them as axes.
TYeah I really love all the things you can do with the pots!

NBuild issue resolved. Updating to latest build b407d4d0 should work well now 
** TelemFFB Release **
There is a big refactoring of the code by walmis in this update in an effort to better organize the code. As such, there are some important NOTE's below. So be sure to at least read the first few lines
Several other goodies below that folk's have been waiting for as well.
As always, you can download the latest from: https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/TelemFFB/?C=M;O=D or let your current install update itself.
General/System:
- Major code refactoring and re-organization of code- NOTE: Users running from python natively will need to re-run the requirements.txt pip install or manually install the "stransi" python library
- NOTE: The format of the system settings in the registry has changed, thus you will need to re-configure your TelemFFB system settings.
- Distribution structure has been changed. You will again notice some subfolders that contain the compiled python libraries and other supporting files. This was done to aid in reducing false positive malware detection.
- New Global "vpconf" profile option
- Can set the "startup profile" in system settings to use as a default configurator profile. If the profile was changed by an aircraft and there is no profile defined for the newly loaded aircraft, TelemFFB will re-push the global default
- See manual section 4.2.10
- New option to prune log archive zips after a configurable time threshold
IL-2
- Fixed issue where sim constantly sends stale telemetry after crash or in MP map, causing effects to play foreverDCS
- Added basic support and default profile for the F-4E- New "Spring Override" feature to better support popular community mods or other aircraft that do not support FFB
- Implements identical functionality to what is traditionally accomplished with "Sticky Spring" and "Hardware Trim" in configurator
- Supports force trim and hat/button based trim.
- See manual section 4.2.6.2.5
- Add damage effect support for OH-6 and A-4 community mods
- Add basic support for F-4E module
DCS/MSFS
- New acceleration vector based "touch down" effect. Creates a sharp forward force on the stick when touching down. The harder you hit, the more force is applied (with configurable limits)MSFS
- Nosewheel Shimmy effect enhancements:- Fixed effect playing while applying brakes while airborn
- Fixed effect playing while stationary on the ground with a headwind
- Enhanced nosewheel shimmy so the shake frequency is higher at higher speeds and reduces as speed decreases
- Enhanced dynamic simconnect subscription capabilities
- A2A Comanche now uses acceleration vector data directly from the AccuSim flight model. This should fix the long-standing "shifting stick position" issue.
- Requires latest update from A2A (v1.5.0 or later)

HI don´t know why but, mine was put in the queue...#0538 now... Maybe is because the (Backorder) Machined Aluminum Grip Mount Upgrade for Rhino
Anodized ... still waiting no problem...

THaha the suspense is killing me!!
CTomcat pilots of Rhino land, what spring, damper, inertia, friction settings do you have? I had pretty good settings with light damper/onertia/friction for the Apache but it doesn’t seem quite right for the Tomcat around center
BI do love 3d printing, but boy do I hate 3d printing 
WShould arrive tomorrow
HFingers Crossed
Nis this a built rhino only part? Or can the diys also use it?
BIt's the grip mount connector, usually its a 3d printed part, not an issue in an of itself, but one careless mishap switching grips and it becomes useless
Band you can print one if you have the tools, but yea, 3d printing is a pain at times 
Bcurrently printing just one such mount...
NI meant if it can be integrated into a 3d printed grip connector part
NBecause it looks like it would be a real pain if the threads ever get destroyed on a DIY rhino
SAh, sorry to hear that, but another opportunity for me to play my silly trick in the coming days 
(don't mind the wait and delay, it's gonna be worth it )
(don't mind the wait and delay, it's gonna be worth it
)BThe backordered one mentioned is an optional one out of aluminium, I'd say well worth the upgrade.
Balas mine is shipped as a letter mail, which seems to be as de-proritized now it takes 4 weeks where a package post takes three days.
B(stuck in customs for the four day weekend)
Nwas your 800eur price with vat included? Just saw the notice on the form
BNope.
BAnd I get 25% VAT for good measure :S
