Walmis, so to simplify, the motor should turn only one revolution for axis sensing…….in my collective build using 57BLF motor I have a 11 tooth spur gear attached….meshing with a larger spur gear that is attached to collective stick…….it takes about a revolution and a half to go from bottomed out on collective to max collective up travel ……do I need then to design a larger diameter motor spur gear or smaller main collective spur gear to get it inside one revolution? Am I understanding this correctly?

this will work, but make sure your collective down position is calibrated within 0 and 4096. then the up position can be 5000, 6000 whatever. just be sure its in its down position when powering on. (if your numbers go the other way, like higher numbers in the down position, calibrate down at around 3900 or so and then the up position can be well into the negatives.

Righto……I think I understand……I’ll try that…..thanks

IItsPuppy00 hey, whats the turn around of the vkb adapters from order to shipped?

walmis•1/22/25, 7:19 AM

They're in stock, so either the same or next day usually

m2times_•1/22/25, 9:07 AM

only took 96 days from reservation to getting the order finalization message!

Is it me, or is 22 degrees of throw too wide for horizontal, but 11 degrees way too short for backward throw?

Just got my rhino base today and immediately was happy I got the 11deg limiters, but with them on there it feels like especially pulling the stick towards me is barely off center. (This is a feel thing, I can see that physically it is doing the same thing in all directions, no worries there).

How do others have their throw limits set up? I'm using a WW stick with the extension at its shortest setting.

Fierce_Fire•1/22/25, 1:04 PM

You could try a software limiter first to see what angle you like, then print(have someone print) a custom limiter using the parametric design of the original limiter

Fr4Ged•1/22/25, 1:08 PM

I am still using the software limiter to this day. Don't know if it is harmful to the Rhino but yeah

GTOfire•1/22/25, 1:09 PM

Yeah, I used to always yank on stuff too hard so I figured hw limits would be better

GTOfire•1/22/25, 1:09 PM

But then I'm not anywhere near good enough a pilot to be going to the extremes of the stick throw and not die 5 seconds later

Hammer 1-1•1/22/25, 1:46 PM

quick question about the stick: does it come with the floor mount for monstertech or is there a mount that I will have to fabricate specifically?

Hammer 1-1•1/22/25, 1:46 PM

just got my invoice today and before I pay I need to know if theres something else I need to add

Hammer 1-1•1/22/25, 1:47 PM

I dont have a monstertech, but I do have a nextlevelracing flight seat pro that Im already going to have to fabricate something to it

Fr4Ged•1/22/25, 1:48 PM

There should be a monstertech base plate option for the order but you don't need it if you can fabricate one for your next level seat imo

Hammer 1-1•1/22/25, 1:48 PM

im interested if it comes with a base plate at all

dont see anything in there about floor mounts and the imgur link no bueno

Alighierian•1/22/25, 2:09 PM

There's a PDF with dimensions in the post he linked.

And that imgur link going dead is relatively recent afaik (it had photos of the Rhino itself)

Fr4Ged•1/22/25, 2:10 PM

I just added the monstertech base plate. Still haven't bought the MT seat but that is the plan

HHammer 1-1 im interested if it comes with a base plate at all

Fierce_Fire•1/22/25, 2:17 PM

I believe there is a base plate, but it has its own pattern and doesn't mount to any extrusion system or so

Alighierian•1/22/25, 2:24 PM

The pattern (160x160.3mm) matches the TM Cougar joystick, for what it's worth.

I.e.: You can also use other mounting plates designed for that device, given they're sturdy enough.
(Kinda what we did at MT, once we realised that match.)

Hammer 1-1•1/22/25, 3:13 PM

this is what its going to be mounted to, so looks like I have a bit of work to do

Hammer 1-1•1/22/25, 3:14 PM

looks like Im going to have to find another place for my vkb base too

It's really a great quality! I love mine too (see in showcase sub)

GTOfire•1/22/25, 9:57 PM

The amount of aluminum and peripherals one can attach to a single chair is insane

Alighierian•1/22/25, 10:13 PM

Yep.

Can't find the photo anymore, but somebody manged to overload at least one of his casters

somehow

For a moment I thought you have a breaker panel on your right side. Second look told me it was a massive USB hub. Lol
