Rthat guy does
DWho
CMe....
Dfucking legendary
DHow is the thing?
JNo, not saying that, I just like to have things to compare to. I can tell already the software is 100% what makes the Rhino amazing, just from what I've seen (someone demo'd the Rhino for me). Moza is still working on their own Telemetry FFB stuff so time will tell.
SI just noticed you’re green. You order a kit?
DYeh, should arrive by the end of the week. Im checking the delivery website like every 15 seconds
SAwesome! You printing yourself, or getting the printed parts?
DI got the kit from @SR-FWinger[73]_David
RI'm on the edge of ordering a kit from him as well, but I'm just not sure I have the time and patience to build it myself and troubleshoot it until it works
Jhaha ya, we trouble shoot DCS enough, no need to include hardware
OI'm also in the Dad crowd. I would happily go Moza/etc but I'm not sure about their software for DCS which can be really tumultuous to develop around.
DFrom what Ive got, it shouldnt take too long actually and thats with me being absolutely incapable of working with wires. Like absolutely nothing. I can tune triple webbers for you in like 3 tries but if it has a wire, my brain melts

Sit went out today. should arrive tomorrow already
DYep, hopefully my mount parts will also come tomorrow
TI’d say most of us here are older Dads with a solid 40-50% of us being former and/or current pilots.
I’ve got two of my own and I know lots of the other guys do too so I get it for sure.
For what it’s worth once you assemble all the parts the Rhino build takes about 5hrs.
So it’s not a “weekend project” it’s basically an afternoon into evening project
It’s super straightforward and actually a lot easier than it looks so if you decide you’d rather not wait..
Try the DIY you’ll see it’s not so bad and as you know it’s a great feeling to DIY.

TLook for my build in the DIY section… I took about 40 pics from every angle and made sure to show every single step.
TSee above brother that advice is for you too. The DIY isn’t so bad so if you ever change your mind we’re all here for ya
O473 to go for me. I'm staying. New twins at home, too. No time to so much as think! But I will consider it.
Jhah, so what's the lead time on a kit? curious the difference.
TYeah ours are older so I understand entirely but again we’re here for ya if you wait or if you build it’s all the same team here
TI posted my review in the review section when it happened so you can count the days (time stamped)
TOne issue is I’m in the USA so shipping for some folks won’t be as quick as it was for me OR maybe if you’re in the EU like Walmis it might be faster.
TMy VPforce kit shipped and arrived at my door in like some stupid number of days… like two
TSo I even write in my review that’s probably not the average but hey it was the reality for me
JIm in the US as well
TNice I’m east coast we live outside DC so the hub is close is probably why we get it fast but for sure it’s not a long wait.
TThe kits don’t have a wait time it’s basically if they are in stock or not
JGotcha, im on the other side haha
ORichmond, here.
TWalmis is super approachable so you can always bug him
TWe stay there when we take the kids to Kings dominion
OI also need to finish the skeleton of my sim rig. Time to upgrade from pallet wood!
BMine took a week.
But my rhino got shipped December 22, i think
So there was like 4 full holdiay days bettween that and I got my unit friday before the new years weekend.

TWe live in Nova I guess you’d say but more down 66 so more woodsy
OI got ya. Love that area.
JOK so ignorance on my part, what comes in the kit? Is it literally the entire thing but just has to be put together?
TYeah I call it the sweet spot honestly.
It’s close enough to the city we can pack the kids up for the zoo or hit the Baltimore aquarium.
It’s also close enough to WVA we can go crazy hikes or camping and take the kids to the 4H center (we just got back from a 4H Cloverbud camp lol)

BMotors and controller, rest need to be sourced, but i think someone else here sell a kit of 3d printed parts and bits.
TSo it’s perfect… just enough city for real life and just enough yard for a couple dogs
OBaltimore, ey. I'll have to update my will.
HWorked right after completion. Hard to mess something up tbh. The instructions are quite clear.
JAh ya, see this sounds painful haha... I'd rather just pay for the thing pre-built. Call me crazy but I'm having a hard time just finding time to review this stuff, yet alone make one.
HThe kit from @SR-FWinger[73]_David is complete. The only(!) thing missing is the motors and logic board which come as a kit from walmis, You don‘t need to source anything but the PSU
BYesh I just didn't have a space to do it, and my 3d printer is 'meh' at best so I just chilled in the cue.
Only people who cue better than us must be the brits so not an issue

OI'm with you! I am interested in commercial but none seems good enough yet.
HIt really isn’t much harder than LEGO.
