Ah 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.

JJabbers Ah ya, see this sounds painful haha... I'd rather just pay for the thing pre-bui...

Hiob•7/3/24, 6:29 PM

The 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

Bob Bushman•7/3/24, 6:29 PM

Yesh 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

JJabbers Ah ya, see this sounds painful haha... I'd rather just pay for the thing pre-bui...

Old Prospector•7/3/24, 6:29 PM

I'm with you! I am interested in commercial but none seems good enough yet.

JJabbers Ah ya, see this sounds painful haha... I'd rather just pay for the thing pre-bui...

Hiob•7/3/24, 6:29 PM

It really isn’t much harder than LEGO.

Old Prospector•7/3/24, 6:30 PM

I'm not building any LEGO sets either!

JJabbers Ah ya, see this sounds painful haha... I'd rather just pay for the thing pre-bui...

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:30 PM

Yeah bro we’re here for ya no matter what it’s all the same team here if your red or green we all fly team Rhino

HHiob It really isn’t much harder than LEGO.

JabbersOP•7/3/24, 6:31 PM

I dont even do legos

JabbersOP•7/3/24, 6:31 PM

LOL

OOld Prospector I'm with you! I am interested in commercial but none seems good enough yet.

Hiob•7/3/24, 6:31 PM

The Rhino, DIY or pre-build is easily en par with commercial options (well, apart from the surface finish perhaps). What sets it apart is the software and support!

Bob Bushman•7/3/24, 6:32 PM

Once you have all the parts yeah, but also having to rub 3 years of dust off a printer, re tune it for two new materials, hunt for bearings, nuts and parts between mouser and alibaba.. I just waited.

Now though, if I could get a kitbash and motor kit, I definitely would have gone that way

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:33 PM

Also nobody here should be against the new FFB.

We know the they ain’t got Walmis but I myself love and want to see bottom level FFB

Like.. I really want a surprise announcement from Microsoft for the MSFFB3

A 250 stick with tiny but night motors… something for the entry level again and something to wake up the devs and push FFB implementation to the front line again (just like it’s 1998 again)

Hiob•7/3/24, 6:33 PM

Printing the parts yourself and sourcing all the hardware is definitely the critical part. That’s where the DIY-kit comes in handy.

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:33 PM

We need a cheap option for the masses… sure the Rhink and others will be the big dogs but I want to see the small dogs fly again and I’m no hater to see it

JabbersOP•7/3/24, 6:34 PM

Is there a link to the DIY kit? (not the motors and board)

JabbersOP•7/3/24, 6:34 PM

im curious to see how much cheaper it would be

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:35 PM

@SR-FWinger[73]_David is the guy with the kits a lot of folks are building and they seem like epic kits for sure it includes everything you need (so far as I’m aware they are complete kits)

Cheaper? No not really

Faster… Hell yeah by a lot

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:36 PM

Cheaper is 3D print yourself

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:36 PM

Cheapest*

Bob Bushman•7/3/24, 6:36 PM

I was literally making whopping noises when I saw the Moza announcement on reddit, everyone should have the glory of FFB.

I am of course critical and questioning to imprecise technical specs in marketing lingo.

JabbersOP•7/3/24, 6:36 PM

makes sense, i dont have a printer tho, and not really into investing into one.

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:37 PM

I mean if the main Rhino is like $850

The kit is like $400 and then the VPforce kit is like $350 so you save some but not enough imho to say you really “saved”

Bob Bushman•7/3/24, 6:37 PM

Cheaper than buying a bambulabs.

Bob Bushman•7/3/24, 6:37 PM

And everything else.

Hiob•7/3/24, 6:37 PM

And you need 30-50 bucks for a proper PSU

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:37 PM

I tagged him so he’ll come and say what’s what because it’s legit and a lot faster for sure but how much cheaper is negligible at these numbers

JabbersOP•7/3/24, 6:38 PM

You should be critical, all these people pre-ordering due to FOMO are nuts (not even speaking from having used it... literally my thoughts before i got it). We live in a weird world where everyone trusts the first review they see, even if it doesn't actually explain anything and the reviewer is completely ignorant to what they are reviewing... FOMO makes people open their wallets and companies prey on it now, especially in gaming

TTouch_Of_Legend I tagged him so he’ll come and say what’s what because it’s legit and a lot fast...

nubbins•7/3/24, 6:38 PM

Yes it's not really cheaper, the only savings I had was on taxes and brokerage fees

nubbins•7/3/24, 6:39 PM

Just faster

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:39 PM

The fun part is the build itself.

I actually love that part but yeah… you can even see from my posts it did take me about a month to find the 5hrs for myself to build it…

Like yall said… kids keep you really busy

nubbins•7/3/24, 6:39 PM

but printing by self is not a viable solution either financially, unless one is already into 3d printing with a good printer

nubbins•7/3/24, 6:39 PM

No way around it

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:40 PM

To me though the coolest part is when they point at the rig and they’re like daddy made that and made that and made that and my next project…

DIY rudders!

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:40 PM

So it’s cool for me to hear them brag about how daddy built that lol

Call me cheesy

Touch_Of_Legend•7/3/24, 6:41 PM

But again my kids are little and easily impressed hahahaha

SR-F_Winger_[73]_David•7/3/24, 7:42 PM

I am impressed:) Looks quite Sexy. Mind sharing an asembled view?

SR-F_Winger_[73]_David•7/3/24, 7:42 PM

guess it will feature FFB eh?

TTouch_Of_Legend We live in Nova I guess you’d say but more down 66 so more woodsy

j9murphy•7/3/24, 8:00 PM

Leesburg and Canaan Valley

JJabbers hah, so what's the lead time on a kit? curious the difference.

FlatSpin•7/3/24, 8:31 PM

week or less

Cyclic = Control Stick. Yes, for X-Plane and MSFS, the TelemFFB app supports basic cyclic force trim as part of its FFB implementation (neither X-Plane or MSFS have native FFB, it is wholly implemented by TelemFFB).

Hiob•7/4/24, 11:34 AM

100% agreed. You can have proper force trim (- release) and everything. FFB for helicopters is an absolute game changer.

Hiob•7/4/24, 11:35 AM

complemented with FFB pedals it's even better

Limitless VR & Simrigs•7/4/24, 12:11 PM

Crew....thank you so much, I have posted this on the YouTube channel to help this chap understand how amazing the Rhino will be for Helo's as well. The chat is on this video if you want to chime in and add to anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enw4UsZyKJM&t=119s
