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

RHINO #0876 Has Shipped!

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

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

AnthonyOP•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

AnthonyOP•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.

AnthonyOP•1/24/25, 3:36 PM

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

AnthonyOP•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

Not a flanker grip, but I have a head tracker otw and a tv stuck in transit for who knows why.

Bob Bushman•1/25/25, 7:19 PM

I know it definitely won't move during the weekend I still check the tracking five times a day.

Not only that, but the price was reduced during the black friday and christmas sale. Virpil very graciously gave me a partial refund for the sale price difference on my preorder. I paid nearly 100$ less than what it is selling for now.

How long you reckon it’ll take to update the software to make the Rhino compatible with the FLNKR?

(Note: not trying to sound whiny, I’m just excited and waiting with apprehension like a kid on Christmas right now

m2times_•1/27/25, 3:26 PM

hi, is it safe to pull out the stick connector from rhino and reverse it?

m2times_•1/27/25, 3:27 PM

i want to pull it just enough to be able to rotate it 180 deg

m2times_•1/27/25, 3:29 PM

FA, FO... I unplugged the connector, lmao. There was no slack sadly

m2times_•1/27/25, 4:30 PM

... i had to remove the dust cover and slide the grip mount down in order to plug the cables into the connector. If anyone is going to rotate their connector too, I recommend you start with this. Or ask walmis to do it for you during assembly, if possible.

Bob Bushman•1/28/25, 5:51 PM

I honestly think nvidia has been stock piling these for a few months so wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a shortage.

Now they'll dripfeed stores to keep prices from falling but I suspect they have stockpiled them in advance, at least in the US to avoid future tariffs.
