Yeah that’s the fun part is knowing you played some small part in making it all happen.

For me we have small children so I love when they sit back and watch Daddy turn a huge pile of stuff into something cool..

I want to pass on the DIY spirit and show them you can build anything!

That’s why I really love the DIY. It’s a mindset I get to pass onto my kids while also… hey I get to build some cool ish’

..Eagle.Thanks , glad to be green. It was fun to put together

Post a link to your pic in the DIY section and I bet they will Green you there.

You earned it my fellow Rhino driver!

You can never fail a diy project, its only the previous version caught fire is all, next one wont have faulty wiring.

Its also very common, at least for me, to take "thinking breaks" and they might look like me just watching netflix for two years.

For trimming, i clicked "Hardware Force Trim" and "Override Trim" and i have the trim assignments in DCS empty. When i trim, the stick goes back but as soon as i release the trim, it goes back to center. Is that supposed to be like this or do i do something wrong?

Bob Bushman•6/6/24, 11:26 AM

Most, if not all of them, dcs modules handle trimming natively so you don't need to use the option for that in the configurator, just bind them as usual in the module controls.

You are in the offline/sim/class editor. Load into an aircraft with the sim running and you will see what you are looking for in the settings tab of the main UI where you can make real-time adjustments.

The page in your screenshot is for editing aircraft that are not actively loaded in a running sim and/or setting defaults at a sim level or aircraft class level.

.Eagle.•6/7/24, 4:33 PM

I recommend you the kit this guys sell @SR-FWinger[73]_David , unless you are gonna print the parts youself.

.Eagle.•6/7/24, 4:34 PM

He pre assemble the hardest part for you.

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:34 PM

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:35 PM

I know a guy with a 3d printer otherwise

.Eagle.•6/7/24, 4:38 PM

You are gonna enjoy putting it together.

.Eagle.•6/7/24, 4:38 PM

And have a better understanding of how it works too

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:39 PM

I just want one for cheaper but yeah

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 4:51 PM

I got the kit from @SR-FWinger[73]_David and the motors from @walmis which were both delivered within two weeks and then it took me only around 5 hours to assemble

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 4:51 PM

Cost wise it’s about the same as a built one but no waiting around for an impatient guy like me

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:55 PM

It is probably cheaper if you print the plastic yourself

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 4:57 PM

Definitely cheaper if you print yourself and if you have a half decent printer there are no complicated parts i was just too impatient to have to wait for me to get the time to print as some of the parts were 14-20 hour prints

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 5:04 PM

Start sourcing the bearings and screws etc so you are good to go once the prints are done and order the motors

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 5:18 PM

Sorry for late answer but it is the "DIY FFB kit: 57BLF03 x2" right?

BBanan Pajen It is probably cheaper if you print the plastic yourself

nubbins•6/7/24, 5:24 PM

it just depends how much you want to put into the materials

nubbins•6/7/24, 5:25 PM

you can really save a lot of money if you go for the bare minimum on prints, not so much on bearings/fasteners that are pretty much going to be a constant price

nubbins•6/7/24, 5:26 PM

David's kit has the advantage of a much more similar upper gimbal to actual vpforce, so based around an extrusion + compatible with vpforce metal grip connector upgrade

nubbins•6/7/24, 5:28 PM

I think he also uses pa12 for the grip connector itself, and completely solid prints for the gimbal parts

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 5:42 PM

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 5:46 PM

I think Im gonna cheap out as much as I can without it falling apart like paper

Touch_Of_LegendOP•6/7/24, 6:49 PM

Between 5 and 10hours is a great estimate on the amount of work.

Depends on how confident you are with medium scale projects and/or the quality of prints also makes a slightly difference.

If you’re comfortable with a soldering station and have that preset up and you’ve got some random bits of wire or heat shrink you’ll be just fine.

Follow the guide.

Follow the guide.

Follow. The. Guide.

PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO PART ORIENTATION.

As example the main stick mount has a slot for the wires. Pay attention to “where it’s at” and “how it’s facing” in the pics and as you move along keep it as a reference point.

If you have ANY issue… back up and start again. Some parts can go on both ways but the screws only fit, or are only recessed, one way.

Remember wire length matters! Short and sweet plus a little slack..

When connecting the motors pay attention to the Labels. They should be facing UP!

I have a pic I share that shows the inside wiring of a Rhino start switch (zoom in!)

The Power (+) comes from the plug to the C side of the Emergency cut off switch.

Power (+) goes from the NC side of the Emergency cut off switch to the Main board.

Negative (-) goes from the Plug to the Main board.

Outside that make sure to use lots of pics from the DIY section as alternate angles and I already know… You got this!

Happy building and Happy flying!
