That s actually helpful since I got lost searching for it lol. The unit looks really awesome! Too bad I dont have the 3D printer since I could use that for some other projects and not make everything out of metal. What do the green and blue rotaries do? Noticed something similar on the original from Rhino aswell. Do you adjust the strenght with it? Red one is I guess when the guests come to visit to the house and you turn the system off for safety?

btw love the plaque!

Touch_Of_Legend•6/4/24, 2:13 PM

Yep thanks man! It was a fun build for sure

The knobs are potentiometers that you can use to fine tune effects or to lower the forces you feel.

The first pot is set to Spring Force (default) so if you turn it off the stick just falls to the side and stays there and as you turn it, if you turn it all the way it springs the stick back to center by gradually ramping up the “spring force” BUT

In the software you can use a drop down menu to set the pot to work ANY of the specific forces. So it’s great for fine tuning things and finding that perfect spring tension how you like (which is also somewhat based on the weight of the stick you use as heavier sticks require slightly stronger spring settings)

It’s honestly such an extensive set up that unlike the other bases where you change out the cams and springs.. for this you basically tune EVERY single force to make it feel…. However you want.

You like a big dead zone? Easy… you like it stupid stiff so it barely moves without resistance? Also easy..

Are you like me and just love to test and test and test.. Do that it’s great this thing is stupid fun.

You don’t like the 22 degrees? Change it to 17 or 11 is quite popular with some extension users.

The rhino is seriously that bitch.. She’s seriously everything the other bases can’t be..

In the software the 2nd pot is disabled by default but you can enable it anytime and then you can tune two different things

The fun thing you can do with them is set the pots as Axis!

(Yeah I always forget about that feature but yeah.. the Rhino is just to nice man.. she’s tooooo nice)

Touch_Of_Legend•6/4/24, 2:15 PM

I’ll say again that no matter what you own this is the new MVP in your kit.

Touch_Of_Legend•6/4/24, 2:16 PM

It’s so bad if the house is burning down.. and you can only take one thing.

You’ll be looking at the dog. And at the Rhino.. and back at the dog.. and back to the Rhino.

Man.. gonna miss that dog

Bob Bushman•6/4/24, 2:17 PM

I booted mine up and barely tested it, and first thought, dang I want another.

Then I experimented with trim settings and I thought I should have bought two seven years ago (small comfort that it didn't exist yet)

Exactly… feeling the stick relax as you trim in like it does irl…

Flynn (Phil)•6/4/24, 2:32 PM

I don't know, I've not used short goosenecks before. I was just trying to find the right combination of height, stick position fore and aft, and throw. The Rhino gives you an effective extension from the off, so you don't need much extra, in my opinion (the z-ext is maybe 11cm?). I wanted to bring the stick back towards me - the massive box stops me bringing the whole thing back towards me, so the z-ext is great for that - plus it fits just over the seat base when pulled max back. Also you can choose your angle for the stick front to back . One thing that I don't hear talked about much is throw - if you put a long extension on, you end up with a huge throw, which is good if your base is on the ground, but not otherwise. I've got hardware restrictions in for (I think) +- 11 degrees left and right, and 8 forward, 14 back, and the stick feels exactly right for me. Obviously there's some sw setting up to be done, which can take a while...

Here is the make shift pedestal I’m making.

I’ll cut and carpet the base board same as the chair.

Metal plate is the foot rest for the pedal mount.

Easy peasy little pedestal with some drawers to hold the extras and cords or whatever you’re not using.

Like I said it’s WIP so don’t judge me but yeah.. Solid mount is what I’m after as well

Crosswinds as well. Noice!

Cowboy10uk•6/4/24, 3:03 PM

The Rhino is currently on the mounts lowest setting, but is way to high realistically. So figure mounting it on the chair lower down, will mean the not only is it in the correct height but it won’t hit the ufc. Win win.

@walmis How hard would it be to add a second dial to control each motor separately? I have the factory assembled version. Sometimes I feel the pitch forces are weaker than aileron forces, I have modified the graph and that helped somehow but having a dial would be a lot easier.

That s actually helpful since I got lost searching for it lol. The unit looks really awesome! Too ba
