Komodo is absurdly low quality for mil contractors prices
Komodo is absurdly low quality for mil contractors prices
ALiterally sub Saitek quality
BIndeed, I was almost surprised the website was still up, less surprised there wasn't a single thing ready to be ordered 
BI did google "TEDAC DCS" after which is where I found a diy project, did not find any results for the Alain TEDAC though.
B$205 shipping to Europe is a bit eep
Hhe has an ongoing thread at dcs
Hcan attest its chefs kiss
Hhes fairly new
Hbased in quebec
CI own Alain‘s Tedac as well and I‘m so happy with it.
BI have no doubt, whatsoever of that.
But $200 on shipping is bonkers, and I am fully aware that's also not his fault either, the couriers are just going nuts these days.

CI‘m from germany. I understand your complains about the shipping costs to europe. But finally for me Alain‘s device from Canada was cheaper than a komodo Tedac from the UK. And it looks way better.
Hnot trying to diss komodo, but hes just a guy that pounds his stuff out to eek out a living while alain is just doing this as a hobby + side gig
Hhe does good work
Hhis first tedac took a lot for granted, but was 100% functional
Hhis V2 is pretty much professional
FI am sure you could print money with a resin printer and some decent quality built niche hardware like the TEDAC or Apache cyclic grip.
HIIRC he does an apache collective and cyclic as well
Hway cheaper than the virpil options
BOh I was by no means recommending komodo, it was just the only one I found with Google.
FI guess you only find that stuff on the DCS forums or his discord?
Hyeah, hes just a guy in his garage doing this thing as a side gig
Hi took a leap of faith with his tedac and was surprised
Hhe supports his work too...if its fucked up, you ship it back to him and hell fix it
BWell from I gathered he is also an electrical engineer with 30 years experience.
That tends to help
That tends to help
Hhe also assisted me for a few days trying to get my winwing mips and tedac to work all at the same time in DCS so i will 1000% vouch for him
Hhttps://forum.dcs.world/profile/80627-alaindufour/ is his DCS creds
ED Forums
CResin printed parts are great. The Tedac‘s grips are done with it and it feels great 
AHonestly… I would diss Komodo
ASelling amateur quality stuff like collectives with grips literally just glued on is okay
ABut then you oughta charge amateur prices and not market it as top of the line products
HIve never seen a komodo built anything so Ive never been able to vouch for his stuff whether or not its good. I can only say what Ive heard, and its iffy at best
Hbut I 100% agree
Hpersonally I think alain undercharges his stuff
WYay, FLNKR grip has arrived! 
Ais it good?
A
WFirst impressions are very positive, nice packaging, feels like a very solid piece 
Got a mouse pad and a Virpil coffee cup as well

HBy the look of the price, I’m pretty sure you paid for 'em in the total 
HVirpil is very good quality indeed
AThey surpassed themselves with this
AExpert series looks like they’re moving from the old plastic stuff that made you nostalgic for the Warthog, to just leaving it way behind
AProper good feeling like

FPreorder was like 60€ cheaper than it is now. 330€ would make me think more about the purchase. Lol
KThe thing is it is heavy. That means it can be problematic with oscillation in FFB.
FIt is way lighter than the TM Warthog grip (~1000g) with around 600g.
Worked fine with my default settings

KI use a t50cm2 with 200 mm extension and I sometimes have some problems with oscillation in war birds.
FWe will see. Never had issues and I am using that extension as well. Don't fly warbirds though
AThat’s a massive extension considering that the Rhino is basically dimensioned to have a built in 160mm extension
ASo yeah, I’d see how oscillations could be an issue with what effectively amounts to a 360mm extension
