AAndyHill well to be honest it would be kind of sad if nothing would ever touch the Rhino,...

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:06 PM

I 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

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:09 PM

As 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

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:10 PM

Also….. 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?)

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:10 PM

the main "innovation" of the Moza is making it more available to the masses at a competitive price

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:11 PM

I 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

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:11 PM

And I know not everyone has time or the inclination to DIY

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:12 PM

For 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

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:12 PM

an extremely simplified analogy (dont take it literally) is the Moza is the Corvette to VpForce's 'Ferrari'

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:13 PM

Oh yeah but for sure never a corvette

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:13 PM

More like something.. nice but available.

Corvette is like… really rare and expensive (2024 I mean)

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:14 PM

Maybe they can be a mustang or camero but for sure Moza is not the corvette

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:14 PM

there 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

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:15 PM

but you get the idea

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:15 PM

I 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

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:15 PM

like i said its a weak analogy but gets the point across

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:16 PM

or Moza is the Piper Cherokee and Rhino is the Beech Bonanza

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:16 PM

etc etc

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:16 PM

Ferrari 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

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:17 PM

Hahahaha I got my license on a Piper Cherokee!!

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:17 PM

1994

Coletrain•7/31/24, 5:17 PM

Cherokees are great!

TTouch_Of_Legend Ferrari would be like all metal vp force with crazy shark skin leather stuff and...

Xaero Zero•7/31/24, 5:17 PM

and you forbidden to modify it

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:17 PM

Yeah I’m old

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:17 PM

heh my first solo was in 1986

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:17 PM

in Ultralights and in GA it was 1992

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:18 PM

currently building a RV-12

Coletrain•7/31/24, 5:18 PM

that'll be fun when its done!

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:18 PM

Ehh 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

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:19 PM

yeah pipers get the job done but the Beech is [usually] built so much better and a more thougtful design

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:19 PM

Yeah those were old days and like I’d say… a different world and a different life but man memories lol

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:19 PM

hell even the Piper Traumahawk vs the Beech Skipper (used to fly both) you can see the Beech design philosophy in it

Jabbers•7/31/24, 5:20 PM

The evolution of this conversation from moza to cars and now aircraft is amazing

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:20 PM

i loved flying the skipper

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:20 PM

classic 'bird walking'

AndyHill•7/31/24, 5:20 PM

well at least I can afford a moza base, not so much with sports cars and planes

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:21 PM

I 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

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:21 PM

the hard part with planes isnt the price of planes. Its the hanger, insurance, maintenence, etc

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:21 PM

cost way more than the plane

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:22 PM

Exactly and maintaining flight readiness and certs… it’s all time and thats money once your on your own dime

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:22 PM

yep

AndyHill•7/31/24, 5:22 PM

well I would just crash a plane anyway so that would save on the costs massively

AAndyHill well I would just crash a plane anyway so that would save on the costs massively

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:23 PM

And that’s why we play games now and they won’t let us near any real airframes hahahahaha

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:23 PM

kids really threw a dent in my flying

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:23 PM

and medical

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:24 PM

We call crashing… handing her to the insurance

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:24 PM

Even a no wheels belly in the grass and she might be done for

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:24 PM

Something… gliders do all day long hahaha

Touch_Of_LegendOP•7/31/24, 5:24 PM

(But gliders do have that one wheel so… just sayin’)

buzzbomb•7/31/24, 5:25 PM

once something goes wrong, its the Insurance Co's plane, to me its just a container to get everybody on the ground in one piece
