wait...that means you must have preordered in September as well? I received my Rhino is March after 6 months. weird. 
TYep 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)

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

BI 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)

TExactly… feeling the stick relax as you trim in like it does irl…
Yeah it’s just something I can’t even fully put into words.

BIt's quite literally as big of a shift as vr.
BAnd now almost only want to fly helicopters..
DI already can see that the waiting period is gonna be full of suffering and comforting myself with Rhino videos on youtube 
FI 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...
D973 Rhinos to go 
SOne day you'll be where I am. It just takes patience. I think I was in 4 digits when I signed up.
DHow long did you have to wait for it?
SSigned up back in November
TYeah that’s what I love bout the Rhino… soooooooo many set ups.
I’m mounting it to a pedestal and using the full 22degrees because she’s basically in the tunnel between my legs just like the natural position

DYou got yours in 6 nonths? I need your luck in my life 
RI still have to figure out a setup to
1) hold the rhino
2) adapt to a swivel gaming chair
3) be easy to destruct and pack up in a pinch

TA lot of folks back out or fall off the list for one reason or another and that moves people up, up, up.
BNot to mention you can custom tune your settings for each module, and telemffb apply it when loaded.
TIt’s a WIP but here’s the set up….
TPerfect fulcrum on the thigh at full deflection in every direction.
She’s dead perfect

DYeah, thought so. Whiever is 1538, bad luck mate I aint giving up
TYou can see what I’m doing (above)
CYep. Guess it’s just luck of the drawer. 
. Think I was 859 in the orders initially but recieved 539 so I’m guessing quite a few dropped out before me.

Nstraight grip, no rotation?
SYou mistake timing for luck.
Nthere are a few places these days selling a gas tube with a rotation lock
NI saw one somewhere but didn't pull the trigger, and predator mounts is also working on one, or the one from monstertech
CI’m looking at this solution at the mo. Does everything you’re asking, just monstertech prices sadly. Their stuff is certainly worth it though.

Center joystick mount for attachment to various office chairs. Quick and easy to remove. Can be adjusted for different joystick configurations.
SI have that chair. I thoroughly enjoy it
RConsidering the weight and torque I'm hesitant to get something that's directly and only mounted to the chair, for the rhino
S
RPreferably I have the rhino stabilized on the floor in some way
CSweet, only looking at the Mount at the moment though. Wife would kill me if I get a new chair as well.
CAhhh someone else who uses the multipurpose UFC I see.
DYeah but if you dont get the chair your back may start hurting so you cant do the vacuuming anymore
SThe chair is really solid. When I had my mounts on another chair, the chair was the weakest link by far
SAbsolutely love it
CJust had to remove mine from the cockpit, as the throw from the rhino kept hitting it.
Hence looking for different mounting so,unions at the mo

SI hope mine is mounted far enough out to not cause that
CBefore and after photos of the current setup
THere 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

SCrosswinds as well. Noice!
CThe 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.
CThankyou, old ones, V2s that I’ve added the new piston mod to.
COhhh wheel stand pro, nice. That might be an idea then. Currently only use mine for the pedals and collective
TYep I see yours hiding in there hahaha
But yeah it would move it down and closer to the crotch as well
(NOT TO CLOSE)
But man mine feels so perfect when I do a mock roll up for full control surface deflection check..
Like she’s perfect

NPretty happy with my ghetto 2x4 + plywood modified Virpil desk mount. I recently replaced the adjustable furniture legs I was using (because they were wobbly) with a small plywood pedestal which is secured to the floor with 3m micro suction “tape”.
Pretty easy to disconnect from the desk and pop it off the floor if needed.

TYeah man I love this! Plus you know I’m all about some DIY hahaha that’s how I roll
I@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.
VWhat is the "Machined Aluminum Grip Mount Upgrade for Rhino, Anodized, Black - 49€+VAT" on the order form? is it needed for TMWH compatible grips and extensions?
