NFunctionally great grip... I'm not fussed about it looking like a space grip. But I hated the hats so I made my own

CCool, I'm currently using the mongoose and I really hate the 8 way hats as they never click the direction you want.. happy to see this one uses only 4 way .
SI use the left hand Alpha for my collective and it's great. The hats could be better, I might but a rubber braille dot on top of each one. But it's a great grip and the scroll wheel is a fantastic and unique feature
NThere’s also hats in that printables link for the alpha-L (and cm3 throttle), too
SNice
SAnyone know of a L shaped stick extension I can get? I have a VKB gunfighter grip. I looked at the VKB, Virple, and Winwing stores and non have an L shaped stick extension. Would I have to build my own?
SI'd like to second that question but for goose-neck cyclic style extensions

Ncould be a good opportunity to diy? since you don't need to worry about wires inside the extension, it's all external connection for vkb
BThat z grip is as close you'd get to an l, I'd doubt you actually need and L.
The grip end of that swivels so it makes a fully straight up stick, it just has a 15cm offset, it does build nearly 11cm to though.

FThe Virpil Z-ext is great, and the Rhino gives you a ~10cm rise already, I found the z is all I need...

SPerfect! Only problem is I need an adapter to fit the VKB grip on the Virpil extension, if that exists
BIt would be the same as the normal one.
SThe vkb adapter that comes with the rhino?
BIf you order it with it yeah,
SOk sweet then I’m all good, thanks man!
Splanning on ordering a 57blf03 kit and was wondering how long shipping to the us normally takes and how much shipping usually is
WIt's usually around 50EUR (FedEx) and takes ~4 days
Rbest ghetto cheap mounting option for an office chair? Not sure I want a huge stick extension from the base on the floor
CI just squeeze mine between my legs
R86BLF04 worth getting over the other motors?
TI’m mounting it to a pedestal because the normal throw (22 degree) is absolutely perfect for me.
Also it’s not a huge deal but an extension lowers the forces you feel (ever so slightly) so I’m able to run the rhino at slightly lower settings and get basically the same stick feel.
I’ll post a pic when it’s finished but remember like ALL things with me… Slow AF

TI posted my review in the reviews tab.
Keep in mind we live outside DC (east coast) so shipping from Europe is a bit quicker for me than for west coast folks.
Start to finish my order was 4 freaking days TOTAL

TPlaced my order Friday night. Paid Saturday. Shipped Monday. Box was delivered Wed morning.
TFrom EU to USA… 4 business days
TTOTAL (only 2 of those was shipping)
TI mention in the review that seems super fast so maybe I was lucky but yeah between 4-6 days and it’s at your door.
depends on order availability

Shi, how much stick force can it generate?
FOnly for very long extensions or other oddities
SI am planning on printing the housing using the design from protomaker964 didnt see it mentioned in the assembly guide but do i need to use heat set inserts for the panels?
Ni think only gadroc guide is designed around heat set inserts
Sok thanks
TEverything to assemble the Protomaker build is on the BOM in the assembly page. (Page 2)
As nubbins said only Gadroc build and some light mods use the inserts.
Most of the builds out are the proto build and they are all running strong!

Nanyone have an .STL for a compact z-extension? ie. much smaller both horizontally and vertically than vpc's z extension
Sa stick extensnion?
Nyeah
Nlike this
TThe best way is to contact them and see if they will work with you on this project.
Gonna be awesome I can tell

Amy VKB setup is made of almost exclusively 2by4 and plywood, I just need to replace my dining chair for a garden furniture and itll be full ghetto
AI'd recommend getting some 2by4 and long screws to mount it on the chair bracket, or a pedestal with piece of ply and then your heels/pedals will stabilize it
DHi! I'm new to FFB. I'm wondering if the deceleration - stick forward effect is a realistic one or is that art added to FFB? i'm just confused why the stabilators would change to nose down due to breaking. or is it the inertia of the stick pulling it forward? in that case isn't it a little strong of an effect?
Dunfortunately I don't have RL experience
WIt's not meant to be realistic, more of an 'art' added for immersion like various vibrations. Some may like it some may don't - it's always possible to turn it off.
