seems like it works at a basic level.. but as far as I can tell, no sort of AFCS is implemented yet

CThanks, hopefully the AFCS will be implemented soon
HRegarding fastening screws on the gooseneck from virpil. Is it the external two screw on the gooseneck, or the two screws on top “inside” near the connector. I need to fasten “something”.
edit they were all loose - tightened all of them.
And context - my virpil grip is loose even when screwed on tight to the gooseneck.

Bneed more context
Bthe two screws at the top and bottom secure the respective aluminum threaded inserts to the extension. the two screws inside the top threaded connector secure electrical connector to the threaded insert. IF you are running a TM stick grip its reccomended to remove the two screws on the electrical connector so you can put an offset (twist) in the grip
Bit also reduces the chances of bending the pins on a TM grip as there is no centering/alignment feature on the extension
HRunning a CM2 grip from virpil. I should perhaps losen the electrical connection screws if I want to run it offset? Or is that a feature in the grip perhaps - that the connector is already able to twist.
MHey guys, is there a list of which grips are working in which way (eg. all buttons or just a few) with the rhino? Im thinking about switching out my vkb Gunfighter and looking for a replacement, including an extension. I‘m especially interested if the new virpil flnkr would work with it.
HPretty sure the flnkr grip will be supported. Asked the same question at some point and learned that walmis is getting one himself. Fingers crossed 
AI build a Flight/Drive Rig like this. Everything stays in place when flying or driving except the Rhino. It is mounted with a Quick release system.

AI just slide my seat forward for driving, after unplugging the Rhino.
JThat's a solid idea
FAny idea how long between putting a order request in and receiving a invoice for a diy kit? Thanks
DNext business day or so, IIRC.
FYeah, quick

SHey Folks. Just a quick Note:
Guys i Made one Monster Rhino Kit (based on @TheAmazinGreat s Project) for a Guy. To save some shipping Cost i ordered parts for a second Kit wich is now ready to Ship.

Hi Folks, Based on the awesome Work of @TheAmazingGreat (thanks for your permission to use your Work AS a Base) I made some slight changes and am offering a VPForce MONSTER Rhino Kit sourcing service. The "Thing" kit has the following Specs: - Gimbal printed from laser sintered PA12. - Grip-Conne...
NSo VP Rhino Ser No:708 got delivered an hour ago! SOOO excited! Now just to find out what to do next and mount it!

RSo excited! Just got my email to order. Can’t wait
TI'm liking the new G-Force effect! Much easier to keep pulling consistent Gs for tactical turns.
HOne of the options on the Order Request form for the base is the 'Machined Aluminum Grip Mount Upgrade'. Is the grip mount that comes with the base not aluminum? What's the difference? Just cosmetic?
HIf your goal was to build a machine that is MEANT to un-tighten screws, a Rhino would come very close to that. Well, it‘s main function is to vibrate like crazy.
Loctide! Loctide! Loctide!
Loctide! Loctide! Loctide!
Bthe normal grip mount that is included is 3d printed. the upgraded one is machined aluminum. If you are like me and swap grips/extentions alot, or just want piece of mind, spring for the aluminum one
Bfor me it was a no brainer
TI didn’t notice that option when I got mine - know if it’s swappable after the fact? Of course my VKB adapter is 3d printed so maybe a moot point…
Bit should be swappable
Ahonestly, i'd recommend getting the aluminum grip mount regardless. A lot of stress will go into that part of the rhino over time, and it's one less thing to worry about in the long run
LHow would you take the stock grip mount off? I tried once but I couldn't pull it out. I think I need some kind of tool.

DI have gone through two 3D printed grip mounts. Get the aluminum one. The 3D one is crap.
Sif you have it printed from PA12 its pretty sturdy and should hold up for a standard rhino
Sif standard FDM print i would have it printed lyiong down and then cut the thread on top with a thread cutter
Sthis way the layers are not predestined break points every .2mm;)
HSelf printed? Material, Settings, Orientation?
Because, so far, even with 20cm extensions my printed connector holds strong. I don’t think it will fail anytime soon (knock on wood)

SIs there any way to use the vpforce kit to create a yoke? Or any plans for an ffb yoke?
RCan I add the aluminum mount to the order I just confirmed? It is in processing stage and I am receiving RHINO #0840 when it is completed.
Fcan you DM @walmis
DNot self printed. The first one that came with the Rhino broke, kind of freakish, it snapped forward with force and hit my "cockpit dash". It broke. Second one I had printed, it broke from stress. I understand this is not normal, but I would advise getting an aluminum one... preferably with an offset.
Rdone, thanks
THave ordered the aluminum grip mount, but in the meantime (or even once the aluminum version is mounted) any suggestions for keeping the 3D printed VKB adapter solidly attached to the base grip adapter? Loctite blue? Something else?
DIDK, but I thought Loctite makes at least some plastics brittle. Haven't tried it on 3D printed stuff yet though.
TYeah, that’s my concern. Plus if it melts into the plastic/resin could be non-reversible.
DI also advise against loctite.
DCould maybe make the joint tight as desired, then drill it for a metal side-screw. Similar to how the metal pulleys have a set screw, but drilled right into the inner piece too. Or kinda like a castle nut / cotter pin joint. Never tried this personally in printed parts, so it might be better to use sacrificial test parts first. Just an idea.
TI think I’d worry about a thin metal screw/pin working like a lever, but a larger diameter one would need correspondingly sized holes which might weaken the mounts. I’ll try doing some research on what works for all the plastic plumbing connectors.
