Ssaved me a ton of time
SI'm curious if you had a phase in your project saved while it was still a two-piece solution like the OG Rhino?
I ask because I already have the metal connector from Walmis, so I might as well rather attach it to a version of a shorter stem (your stubby project).

HThat‘s the problem, the metal connector is connected via a square-tube insert in the stem. In order to give it enough strength the gimbal part needs to be a certain length. Or in other words, if you want it shorter a meaningful amount, you HAVE to make it a single piece.
H…but yeah, I probably have the STLs of an in between step somewhere - need to search for it
Sah I see, makes sense, got it now
Sawesome, shoot it when you stumble upon it, no rush 
WYes it's possible to shorten the stem. The stock Rhino has 20mm square aluminum tube of 100mm length. It's possible to swap out a shorter one of the desired size (though the leather part might need tweaking for a shorter stem). If you need one, you can shoot me a DM, we could make a custom one
HI wasn’t aware that the square tube in the stock Rhino is longer than in the Kit by Winger. Interesting. The more you know….
SThat's superb. 
I'll reach out with the measurements when I get back, travelling now so don't have access to the beloved Rhino.

SYep. I Made it intentional shorter to have the User steer height via extension

Hgood call!
Syeah good move! that would be helpful for my use case where the Rhino shifts between center and side stick position. more adjustability on the extension side is indeed purposeful
SIf you're going the diy Route... @kaltokri AFAIK has Kits in Stock. Contact @kaltokri If you want one
SThanks for the info, I already have the Walmis' Rhino
I'll try to adjust that one to better fit my needs first.

HWell, if you break something in the process you can always repair it with the help of the DIYer stuff….
SOh absolutely! Big DIY fan here 
But force feedback motors still feel out of my range. Stems, on the other hand...

Sthats the beauty of the rhino IMHO.
Sor rather ONE of the many beauties;)

AMy base just shipped today #675, I got on the list 2/2
BThanks!
AReview in a couple months
FStoked to get mine when it’s finally time
AI'm so excited to get going I have SO MUCH learning to do
HHHA short maybe, or a loose connection?
HHmmmm. The strange thing is that it occurs only when the board is DC powered.
HI’ll check the connections
SFLCS modded to fit TM/Rhino?
HSimple TM grip on rhino board
WAnother fifty just dropped out the last few days I see, thanks guys. . Really hoping I can get mine in November ready for FS2024’s release.

BI would love to have SN 774 even if it pushes me back in the line
SYeah when I got mine there was also a big drop in numbers, shouldn't get discouraged by the current position

WIf the wire is long from the grip to the board it might pickup noise - I recommend using a shielded cable or adding a ferrite choke with a one/few turns
Zand has been received can't wait to get home and set it up.

MHi, can someone explain the 3 different DC motors offered on the VPForce website, 57BLF03, 86BLF04 and 86BLF03?
I would like to get single motor and controller to build a collective…..which motor is best for this DIY project. Ta

TFirst two numbers are the dimensions of the motors 57mm vs 86mm. The 86 are bigger motors than the 57 but the 86BLF04 is bigger (longer) than the 86BLF03. Bigger motor means more force.
I think for collective, most people are doing 86 series. 03 would probably be fine but for only 20€ more, you can get the stronger 04 motor kit.

TFrom the FAQ:
What kind of motor are available?
Three types of motors are available:
57BLF03 - 57x101mm - 1.6Nm peak - 1.24kg - NEMA23 [used in the RHINO base]
86BLF03 - 86x81mm - 3.2Nm peak - 2.2kg - NEMA34
86BLF04 - 86x94mm - 4.2Nm peak - 2.75kg - NEMA34
