I‘m from germany. I understand your complains about the shipping costs to europe. But finally for me

I‘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.

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:36 PM

not 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

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:36 PM

he does good work

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:37 PM

his first tedac took a lot for granted, but was 100% functional

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:37 PM

his V2 is pretty much professional

Fr4Ged•1/23/25, 8:44 PM

I am sure you could print money with a resin printer and some decent quality built niche hardware like the TEDAC or Apache cyclic grip.

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:45 PM

IIRC he does an apache collective and cyclic as well

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:45 PM

way cheaper than the virpil options

Bob Bushman•1/23/25, 8:45 PM

Oh I was by no means recommending komodo, it was just the only one I found with Google.

HHammer 1-1 IIRC he does an apache collective and cyclic as well

Fr4Ged•1/23/25, 8:47 PM

I guess you only find that stuff on the DCS forums or his discord?

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:48 PM

yeah, hes just a guy in his garage doing this thing as a side gig

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:48 PM

i took a leap of faith with his tedac and was surprised

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:49 PM

he supports his work too...if its fucked up, you ship it back to him and hell fix it

Bob Bushman•1/23/25, 8:49 PM

Well from I gathered he is also an electrical engineer with 30 years experience.
That tends to help

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:50 PM

he 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

Anthony•1/23/25, 9:45 PM

Honestly… I would diss Komodo

Anthony•1/23/25, 9:46 PM

Selling amateur quality stuff like collectives with grips literally just glued on is okay

Anthony•1/23/25, 9:46 PM

But then you oughta charge amateur prices and not market it as top of the line products

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 9:47 PM

Ive 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

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 9:47 PM

but I 100% agree

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 9:47 PM

personally I think alain undercharges his stuff

walmis•1/24/25, 9:49 AM

Yay, FLNKR grip has arrived!

AndyHill•1/24/25, 10:23 AM

AAndyHill is it good?

walmis•1/24/25, 11:50 AM

First impressions are very positive, nice packaging, feels like a very solid piece

Got a mouse pad and a Virpil coffee cup as well

Havebug•1/24/25, 12:17 PM

By the look of the price, I’m pretty sure you paid for 'em in the total

Havebug•1/24/25, 12:17 PM

Virpil is very good quality indeed

Anthony•1/24/25, 12:22 PM

They surpassed themselves with this

Anthony•1/24/25, 12:23 PM

Expert series looks like they’re moving from the old plastic stuff that made you nostalgic for the Warthog, to just leaving it way behind

Anthony•1/24/25, 12:23 PM

Fr4Ged•1/24/25, 1:04 PM

Preorder was like 60€ cheaper than it is now. 330€ would make me think more about the purchase. Lol

Kruger•1/24/25, 1:14 PM

The thing is it is heavy. That means it can be problematic with oscillation in FFB.

Fr4Ged•1/24/25, 1:23 PM

It is way lighter than the TM Warthog grip (~1000g) with around 600g.
Worked fine with my default settings

Kruger•1/24/25, 1:42 PM

I use a t50cm2 with 200 mm extension and I sometimes have some problems with oscillation in war birds.

Fr4Ged•1/24/25, 1:46 PM

We will see. Never had issues and I am using that extension as well. Don't fly warbirds though

Anthony•1/24/25, 2:01 PM

That’s a massive extension considering that the Rhino is basically dimensioned to have a built in 160mm extension

Anthony•1/24/25, 2:02 PM

So yeah, I’d see how oscillations could be an issue with what effectively amounts to a 360mm extension

Kruger•1/24/25, 3:10 PM

But for helicopters this setup of mine is gold with the throw restricted to half.

Anthony•1/24/25, 3:36 PM

I used my 200mm extension at first, but I found it to be way too tall

Anthony•1/24/25, 3:37 PM

Got a Z extension instead, 110mm tall, so on the whole that’s still more than what I had before the Rhino, but not going on 40cm tall

Kruger•1/24/25, 3:52 PM

I got all my measurements from a Apache at first an had a 200mm virpil s + virpil z extension on it. After I noticed to much flex for Fixed wing I got rid of the z extension and now I'm pretty happy. I would like to have some more force to it when considering war birds but that's it.

I’m basically sitting F5’ing like when a new module’s about to drop, but for the FLNKR grip to become compatible
