36V x 5A isn't exactly incredible amount of power, but should work pretty heat efficiently

Aand I'm not saying it's too little power, I think that's kind of what's expected
TYeah we run off standard 20 and 9A but the Rhino “can” run off a bench top power supply.
Rhino is as versatile as it will ever be and nothing will ever touch it.
That’s just facts all the rest of them aren’t “catching up”
Be real they are copying

Awell to be honest it would be kind of sad if nothing would ever touch the Rhino, I'm hoping for all kinds of bigger and better things in the future
THere is the video.
Skip to like 5min to see him set up the power supply stuff and talk about it.
You can also tag him to get the max numbers but they are in the manual if I remember

This is a first introduction of the Rhino FFB system that will be available soon for purchase as a DYI kit. This system will enable enthusiasts to build a plug-an-play FFB joysticks with custom mechanics. Contact me for details if interested.

TI don’t mean nothing in the future but nothing currently will because they aren’t innovating they are copying features the rhino has already “developed”
In the future the best will get wayyyyyyy better… but your talking another 20yrs for some tech or whatever to move to the next generation

TAs example if they all suddenly add… “elevator droop” as discussed in the video that’s a real thing that’s not just for warbirds…
A common GA piper with a stabilitor you also get droop when under a certain airspeed until the airflow apply pressure to activate the control surfaces.
The rhino has that feature.
The rest can add it and while some folks will call it catching up…
I just call it copying haha
But that’s fine I’m not hating I just know I’d never pay $500 to be an early adopter or an equipment tester.
You can buy a Rhino and fly and fly seriously on day zero

TAlso….. all this stuff about how you can’t do returns?
And they want you to ship or take it someplace to be fixed?
(Like Microcenter maybe?)

Bthe main "innovation" of the Moza is making it more available to the masses at a competitive price
TI agree with that for sure.
Even if Virpil or whoever also copy and create some nice FFB… it won’t be available to the masses for sure

TAnd I know not everyone has time or the inclination to DIY
TFor me… mine was cheaper and better but hey I DIY so I understand where I saved is because I do it myself but I know not everyone can be so fortunate
Ban extremely simplified analogy (dont take it literally) is the Moza is the Corvette to VpForce's 'Ferrari'
TOh yeah but for sure never a corvette
TMore like something.. nice but available.
Corvette is like… really rare and expensive (2024 I mean)

TMaybe they can be a mustang or camero but for sure Moza is not the corvette
Bthere are still orders of magnitude more corvette sales than there are Ferrari sales. If given the choice most would take the Ferrari but reality has different plans
Bbut you get the idea
TI would sort of say the Rhino maybe is the corvette.. a super car you can still build in your garage.
The Ferrari is the future versions we haven’t seen yet

Blike i said its a weak analogy but gets the point across
Bor Moza is the Piper Cherokee and Rhino is the Beech Bonanza
Betc etc
TFerrari would be like all metal vp force with crazy shark skin leather stuff and some crazy thing and you know they gotta put that horse logo on it so it sells for like… arms and legs put together.
Man hahaha Ferrari is noice
Man hahaha Ferrari is noice
THahahaha I got my license on a Piper Cherokee!!
T1994
CCherokees are great!
Xand you forbidden to modify it 
TYeah I’m old
Bheh my first solo was in 1986
Bin Ultralights and in GA it was 1992
Bcurrently building a RV-12
Cthat'll be fun when its done!
TEhh piper are okay but yeah I used to call it the lawnmower of the sky because of how choppy she was… but yeah the nice overhead trim wheel and the real flap handle like some warbird hahaha the big ass lever like a parking brake.
Man I miss that ole baby bird
Man I miss that ole baby bird
Byeah pipers get the job done but the Beech is [usually] built so much better and a more thougtful design
TYeah those were old days and like I’d say… a different world and a different life but man memories lol
Bhell even the Piper Traumahawk vs the Beech Skipper (used to fly both) you can see the Beech design philosophy in it
JThe evolution of this conversation from moza to cars and now aircraft is amazing
Bi loved flying the skipper
Bclassic 'bird walking'
Awell at least I can afford a moza base, not so much with sports cars and planes
TI think what also gives the Rhino community such a leg to stand on is the fact there are soooooooo many former and current pilots who just hang out or help with “settings” and fine tuning how we believe things should be feeling (or whatever)
And that translates into cleaner software profiles which adds and adds to the realism

Bthe hard part with planes isnt the price of planes. Its the hanger, insurance, maintenence, etc
Bcost way more than the plane
TExactly and maintaining flight readiness and certs… it’s all time and thats money once your on your own dime
Byep
Awell I would just crash a plane anyway so that would save on the costs massively
TAnd that’s why we play games now and they won’t let us near any real airframes hahahahaha
Bkids really threw a dent in my flying
Band medical
TWe call crashing… handing her to the insurance
TEven a no wheels belly in the grass and she might be done for
