Looks great. I am curious how close it will come to my center console in my pit, but I’m not pushing forward on the stick often so likely ok. Thanks for the pics. I’m excited to make the change.

ill send you a pm to the tianhang discord server, i have several videos/photos showing the grip and all the switch sounds, youll just have to be patient for the wait now though haha!

FAQ states that Rhino produces 9N of force which equates to 5 kg of force. Any conversion table I looked up states 1 N =0.1kg so 9N =1 kg of force. So I am curios about how math was used to calculate 5 kg of force from 9 N of force? Thank you!

Hiob•12/17/24, 3:55 PM

When converting torque into force you need to take the lever into account, which is < than 1m and therefore amplifies the force (/.2)

Hiob•12/17/24, 3:56 PM

its 9 Nm(!)

Hiob•12/17/24, 3:57 PM

How much pull force in kg you get depends on the overall length of your lever. (Axis of rotation to middle of hand)

Hiob•12/17/24, 3:58 PM

5 kg is without any additinal extension and an average flight grip

Hiob•12/17/24, 4:03 PM

(also a bit of smartassing: Newton is the unit of force, kg the unit of mass. What we really mean when we talk about kgs in this context is the equivalent force that a mass of 1 kg excerts in 1 G, which is ~9.8N)

Fierce_Fire•12/17/24, 4:08 PM

to add: you're missing the m in the 9 Nm. This means torque at an axis. To go from torque to force you need to divide by the length of a lever, in this case ~.180m. or 18cm. So in this case we get 49N at the grip. This is ~5kg

ixifelixi•12/17/24, 4:31 PM

Thank you guys for clarifying the meter part. Now math makes sense.

Can I buy a board +license without motors? I already own a Rhino, and I want to build another one (dont ask). I already have the motors though, I would just need a controller. The one on the website is really cheap and is listed as "replacement", so I assume this is meant to replace an existing board if it breaks, iow, its just the PCB without a firmware license. Im fine paying for the firmware, its what makes this stick magic, but Id rather not pay for 2 motors I dont need. Can I order a "kit without motors"?

You can just grab the replacement board if you already have the motors

Wwalmis You can just grab the replacement board if you already have the motors 🙂

Vertigo (VIV)•12/18/24, 9:23 AM

Seriously? Thats going to be one cheap rhino. You should charge more for the board+firmware. Do I have to / can I change firmware settings to configure which motors Im using, or if I decide to build a rudder first, that its a Z axis controller?

Vertigo (VIV)•12/18/24, 9:24 AM

ah, the motors are not "default"? In that case, I guess I dont have the motors yet lol

Fierce_Fire•12/18/24, 9:24 AM

Haha, I made the same mistake that's why I warned

Vertigo (VIV)•12/18/24, 9:31 AM

May be an idea to make that a little more clear. Also, I dont see spare motors listed, if these motors are customized, that may be required one day. Or if I want to upgrade to stronger ones. I suppose shelling out 25 euro for a new board as well isnt the end of the world though.

Fierce_Fire•12/18/24, 9:35 AM

If you want a spare motor just message walmis, he is really chill about things like that

@walmis I have been contemplating about this too. I have an exsting VPForce 86BLF03 setup. Could I transplant its electronics to a generic 86BLF04 motor, or is it not compatible?

No it would break the motor profiling/calibration. Each driver is tuned to the specific motor

Fissy•12/18/24, 4:25 PM

I cant figure out a way to mount mine without spending a grand on a chair

Alighierian•12/18/24, 4:38 PM

Desk and floor mounting might be options.
The latter could be pretty simple; sufficiently large sheet of sturdy material, 4 mounting points for the Rhino.

Fissy•12/18/24, 4:40 PM

Yeah floor was the plan but bunch of issues came up with that

Fissy•12/18/24, 4:42 PM

stick Has to sit pretty far forward so that it has enough clearance from the chair to pull back, but that makes it less ergonomic, and i have to be far away from my desk, then i cant use my mouse to click things,
