TSorry, went to reply to this a few times but the day got away from me. Looks like the documentation I was using was outdated or something. Using the correct screws helps. Just got it mounted and am happy with the way it looks at first. Did you have any degredation issues or problems with the bolts loosening? Or was it pretty solid during your time using it?
DDon't worry, there's plenty of time to answer 
.
I had no trouble mounting it. I had taken the MTS support for the Rhino and no problems after the first few uses. Now I've had the Rhino for 7 months and it's holding perfectly. I'm sure I'll have to tighten the screws in a few months, but everything's holding! I've put some photos in the "showcase" sub-section, so you should be able to find them easily.

HBetter to ask @walmis for the current lead times. I have the feeling that the stats stated by the bot are not that relevant anymore. (and of course you can have one much faster as a DIY-kit)
WCurrently approx 90 days
Hthat sounds much better, doesnt it? 
MYeeess haha

PHello, with my order number coming up, I have some questions so I can plan.
I am currently running a 200 mm extension for my VKB MCGU, I like it a lot, so would prob prefer a similar feel.
Does anyone have experience or ideas in terms of extension needed for the Rhino for something similar? I've heard some people say extensions are not required.
I've been looking for an excuse to try the WW F-16EX grip, provided an adapter is used does it work well with the Rhino (e.g., any missing buttons or axis)? Also any thoughts on extensions for the F-16EX grip?

HThe Rhino has quite a long lever to the connection thread per default. To equalize with your current throw length a 10mm extension will probably be sufficiant. In the knowledge base you find technical drawings were those measures are laid out.
H
PGot it, I found a lot of previous discussion on it too and it seems like a general consensus is no extension or 10 cm
PDo you have any experience with offset (e.g., extension offset to increase distance between base and grip)?
HThat doesn't mean though that 20cm doesn't work. A lot of people (me included) use a 20cm gooseneck extension.
PYeah, fair
HOffset is no problem. There are plenty of options to balance an offset or heavy grip.
TIs there somewhere I could obtain an STL for printing pulley covers?
TThanks! Should help increase the odds of the kid growing up with all his pieces lol
TDo these screw down? Not seeing where it's supposed to attach
RWhen using balance spring are you all balancing in all 4 quadrants or extremes of each axis or just so it stays centered in the middle.
9Hi, I’ve got two questions, does the base work with Tianhang sticks, and what the current wait time?
TThe goal is that with all effects off you can move the stick to any position and it holds there. You can also play with the "static force" setting to achieve the desired effect. I ended up not needing any balance spring, but just a bit of static force. It all depends on your setup.
RDid you make that?
HIn fact, I would start with the static force if any balancing is needed.
My Approach is this. Turn off all effects and center the stick dead on the middle of the grid. If it drops significantly in any direction, apply static force until it doesn't.
Now place the stick to the second to last corner on the grid. First north than south than west than east than nw, ne, sw, se. Etc. The stick should drop in the direction you put it with the same "speed". If not tune the static force accordingly.
If you have difficulties balancing or a very long extension/ heavy grip, you may add some friction before starting the process.
After that you can add some balancing spring.

HMy approach is that static force is meant to offset any weight imbalance of the physical stick (e,g. due to a gooseneck extension), and balancing spring is meant to help to keep the stick balanced in any position offset "center" position you put it. E.g. by trimming. I maybe wrong, but that worked pretty well for me.
TYep yep for me and my bro. He’s the one who 3d printed my Rhino on his X1
Works great in games and I really really love not just how it looks but how solid it feels when you’ve pulled it and got it in your hands.
Yes it’s two parts: A handle with a pin and a Base to the chair. Works very similar to how they work in real life
It’s basically just an Arduino box using a “breakaway switch” which is the pull pin part.
Here’s the build thread on Reddit and if you or anyone want a parts list or a breakdown (or more build pics) I’m happy to help out my fellow Rhino drivers.

SI cannot get force trim to work in the Huey. The joystick always falls back to original position when I release it. What's the magic to get it to obey the force trim reset button?
ZIs your trimmer mode set to something other than default in the special settings?
NSetup is pretty simple...(telemffb not required but thats the channel this was posted in) https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1230852705593851964/1304566389519945810
Note that this person's issue turned out to be their USB hub. After connecting the Rhino directly to the PC it started working fine.

SFinally got Pilot Trimmer working. This after a lot of fiddling in the Configurator. I finally got the grip balanced with dot in blue circle. Not sure whether that was necessary but now the trimmer button works as expected. Pot#1 is at 15%. Thanks!
T@Sudeebarewhat are the exact settings u used for inside dcs on the huey and which control in the settings did u set buttons for to get it all to work?
SInside DCS as in image above. In Effects:
9What’s the current wait time for the pre-order list?
