AHi, I'm new, here. I'm building a heli simulator and already own cyclic and collective from 737diysim.com and VKBsim pedals. The diysim controls have force trim with stepper motors but they suck (not enough force, get hot) and the pedals have no FB at all. I plan to upgrade them with the DIY kits. I've already found the software manual (https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/VPforce_Rhino_Manual.pdf). Is there any info avaliable for the hardware of the DIY kits?
DYeah sure no issue
DLook at the manual (msfs page)
DYou can use 2 apps: VP configurator (settings, calibration...) and TelemFFB (effects in the game)
VHeard today about a version of the rhino with 25lbs of force. How do I know if my rhino is one of these or an older one?
S:wave: the info on the motors can be found here https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/986474224241741884/986485131906809866
pretty much nothing from the bases of the 737diysim cyclic or collective would be reused, but you can adapt the stick & grip parts to whatever the new base design is. There might be vkb pedal info in #

BWait, all Rhinos built by Walmis have the 1.6 Nm motor / NEMA23 motor?
BOh damn, I thought that was the strongest motor possible (maybe it was at the time I bought mine). What does one have to do to upgrade to the strongest motor? The NEMA34 (4.2 Nm)
Syoud have to build it yourself
BThere's no way to take out the current motors and put the stronger ones in?
Swont fit at all
BAh shame. I'm super happy with mine but more power seems better. Especially because I want to fit a real stick grip on mine which probably weighs a ton.
VIs this a thing or bad info?
Smy diy setup uses the 57blf03.. and its pretty uncomfortable at 100% spring to hold at the extremes, even with 250mm between gimbal center and grip
F25 seems quite high. Im running 10lb on a 500mm extension, so 15 or 20 is certainly possible, but 25 is along the limit i guess
Falso, lbf depends on your extension, if you didnt know
NThere's only one original "Rhino" (produced by walmis) which uses the 57blf03 motors. There are DIY designs that use the larger 86 series motors.
F25 NM sounds like it would break the regular flight sim gear or at least the 3d printed stuff 
Fnah, its more than fine
Fbut 25NM isnt the same as 25lbf at the stick
HStick choice - hi all now I have my Rhino mounted I need to make a stick choice, currently I have borrowed a TM F18 and wont be keeping it as I dont like the limited hat options.
I have a Wingwing ViperAce (EX) with the shaker kit and really like it and have it mapped really well in DCS, anyone using this stick on a Rhino ??, does the base support all the hats, buttons and sliders it has available ??
Thanks

TPretty sure it supports everything but the shaker functionality. In order for it to work with the Rhino you will need the Winwing adapter that Walmis sells.
TI have it, it's excellent. The little shaker bit does not work, but you don't need it obviously.
HThanks
BSounds like you need to work out more. 
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
GI'm a bit confused, the 86BLF series https://www.promoco-motors.com/products/BLDC/86BLF%20Series.pdf seems to show different specs to that listed in the faqs pages for the DIY motors. The body length is shown in the faqs page for the 86BLF04 as 94mm, but the specs in the promoco data sheet shows the motor body length as 57mm. Is this the wrong data sheet? is there a typo somewhere? Can somebody advise, as I'm trying to model these parts up.
WYeah some manufacturers have different naming for these models for some reason, try looking up ACT motor datasheets
GOk, thank you. I've ordered these, so the ACT datasheet is what I'm going to get ?
WPhysical dimensions - yes
FWalmis, did you get your FLNKR yet?
WNope, not a word yet
SThanks for these videos! Very informative even just for us still waiting for ours to arrive 
The clicking action on the flip-down trigger sounds great in your video 3

GPerfect, many thx 
RNo word here either. Ordered in July. Canβt wait though.
DYou're welcome! It's really a great grip. Only 1 thing I must do is contacting Virpil for the right Hat. It's moving a little despite the fact that I pushed it all the way in
Fdid you replace the HATs yet? some of them have the alignment arrow the wrong way. lol
DYeah. The extrem right and the "middle" one. The middle one is moving (little but hum...)
But thank you for the information. I must try that !

RI'm in Germany and got mine from Virpil in Lithuania.
Fprobably mostly about order number.
mine is no. 22

Si have step files of motors here https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1324449671443386459/1324455437642367086
Fare you already using the FLNKR with the Rhino or are you waiting or are you waiting for that grip type profile? if yes how did you set it up?
RI started using it now because I could not wait. I selected the Alpha Grip profile. What doesn't work are the swappable Buttons. There not all positions are recognized or I get double inputs. But for me that is Ok right now.
DSame answer as Gadreel 
. You can check my post 2-3 days ago for more explanation
. You can check my post 2-3 days ago for more explanationDOr my vids
DIn a nuts: if you're ok with less buttons or you're impatient go try this grip 
Fah, just checked your videos.
it basically is the same for me. the cursor controller and the brake axis aren't working at all.
I think I will switch back to the Constellation until Walmis gets hands on his FLNKR

AChucks, Iβd kinda have thought youβd be prioritised tbh
PDoes anyone know the height of the Winwing stick adapter , or have a step file of the adapter?
VCan anyone help me with dialing in my Rhino for the F4? Iβm having a hell of a time getting it to feel right.
V!!!
