Is this the converted result from murphy or the "precise" value?

JI think his is the precise value
J2.8lbs is 1.27 kg
HThanks, both of you. I'm developing a cyclic and want it to be balanced.
Jone project to the next! I love it
Hyeah, the rabbit hole
Jby the way @Hiob , I still use your old detent mod for my cm2 throttle:)
HÄhhh - can't remember. Sure it was me?
Jwell, maybe not, my memory isnt what it used to be:) I'll look it up in a bit
HI would be interested, because I am indeed actually thinking on and off about a custom detent (power to 3D-printing), but I haven't come up with a genius idea so far (afaik)
WNo, I just measured it
SBut did you take multiple samples? :HelenaSmile:
HI need a good value, but I don't need decimals.... 
SIll remind u when u got a lighter or heavier example and get mad jk :CheshireXD:
Jyou're right, was another chap iwith a lego pic lol
HA little bit of imbalance can be tuned away, by some screws or something. And the motor will easily be able to counter the weight. But I want it to need little to no energy when left alone.

JThe video is for original vpc throttle, the dropbox link is for the cm2
HThat's exactly what I had in mind. I just hadn't a heureka idea for the execution. Thanks a lot - I will absolutely steal the idea!
JWe all stand on the shoulders of others:)
HDidn't know that "M6 ball plungers" were a thing. That opens up whole new ideas.....
Jtheres also a video for the cm2 version, you can find that by finding other videos from the same author on youtube.
HAlready took a look at the 3D files and the instruction. The principle is easy. The execution is brilliant. Though I will modify the design a bit to mount it to the outer screws. Because the inner screws hold some cables and you need to open the whole throttle to tidy that up...... and I need a "quick-release" for helo flying. (or hurry the f up with my cyclic).....
SYay adapter has arrived 
.... Now i only gotta survive the rest of the working day and the travel home :CheshireXD:

WExcellent, cheers.
WHoly moly, the waiting list just dropped 91 in three days , that makes 179 in about a month, wow.

Speople will regret. latest when they get to directly compare FFB effects of rhino with effects of "put in other brand here".
Sbut its good for the ones that persist
Swhat i ask myself is "why leave the waiting line for a product that there are EXCLUSIVELY positive reviews for something that NOONE knows the quality from yet.
Xsimilar situation in Simracing market, there are plenty of vendors, but only one provide best performance, mostly due to software. So same thing here, there might be a lot of competitors that does virtually same thing, but software rules them out
JWhat's crazier to me is leaving before in depth reviews are in on the new FFB base
JUnless their decision is purely price wise and it isn't a preference of quality, but one of "I can more easily afford this"
XI think “DIY” part scares off people, if it had “aviation grade” housing and fancy looks, people won’t drop off
Jit didn't scare them enough to not get into the list. The way to get into the list leaves little room to wonder what they're signing up for either
XMoza is pretty crap smracing company, it’s low tier, I don’t expect anything good from them,. Winwing - not sure, pretty sure they will have pretty bad software, but Chinese are good at copying
XI signed up originally for Rhino before I got printer, now as I get more in-depth into it, I would still love original Walmis creation, but DIY is more interesting/appealing to me since the purchase, not because of price or anything, just to be able to learn something new
Xpretty sure this is all “hype” and stuff, those new companies with FFB gonna play catch up. There is always a buyer for every market.
Xand the community… take a look at Moza/Winwing support, compare to golden standard of VPForce 
Xthis project alone has taught me so much that even if I switch at some point to Rhino v2, I’m going to enclose first one built into plexi box for show off, kudos to everyone involved!
HDIYing the Rhino (with help of a kit) learned me so much and gave me so much ideas already…. That experience alone was worth it. And I completely agree - the software quality and support will make or break a great FFB product.
AI am about to drop off if my DIY works out.....
BI'm sure it will

VHas anyone here switched from having an extension to just having a grip mounted directly on the Rhino? If so, any observations on what to expect (except maybe higher felt force due to shorter lever)?
I'm asking because I've now broken my second VKB adapter and am thinking of making a metal adapter and just getting rid of the extension entirely.
I'm asking because I've now broken my second VKB adapter and am thinking of making a metal adapter and just getting rid of the extension entirely.
BI think I lost almost half the felt nm when I added a 10cm extension, so if force is a big deal I recommend as little of an extension as possible. that said it's not weak yet by any means really.
the extension is to help me get the grip exactly where I want it for comfort, so not using it would require some finagling

VAbout the positioning, I'll move my base a bit upwards to compensate the lack of 20cm extension. I'm more interested to hear from anyone that flies helos has removing the extension resulted in having less precision in the controls?
When I flew with the VKB base with cams and springs, having longer lever helped in keeping the grip where I wanted. Now with the FFB, I've only flown with 20cm extension so I don't know how it behaves with just grip and the Rhino. Is it enough or is extension still recommended for flying helos?

BNah, even completely without an extension it has what is comparatively to other sticks a 10cm extension.
After adding my extension I have had to dial in the throw range quite a bit cause my fat self is interfering

VThat's reassuring to hear. I do have 13 degree limiter plate already installed so if needed I can always remove it if the throw will be too short
BYeah, Think I'm running 70% roll and 60% pitch at the moment..
So if I'm loosing anything it's because of that.
I might have to modify my seat cushion and figure some way to do a t-slot mount solution so I can adjust height, back and forth position of it to get it
just right, I might ideally not need the extension and gain back som range, hopefully.
