Why not make them normal weight and just mount them to something?

Also in my defense. I wasn’t planning on building a full sim rig when I started this….then a friend gifted me a rig

and it took more than a decade

Vulkan•5/20/22, 2:18 PM

Does the sticking coming soon have a sustained force limit?. And what's it max momentary force

walmis•5/20/22, 2:21 PM

The motors do heat up at max force, but with active cooling it's not a big problem like in the Brunner. The peak force for the 'Rhino' base is around 5Nm.

Vulkan•5/20/22, 4:44 PM

Awesome! Is it available for purchase yet? I heard a rough price of 800. I just be interested in the process of doing it. And some more information of the stick itself. I've been going through the channels here but I'm finding it hard to get a clear of it.

walmis•5/20/22, 6:08 PM

You can preorder a unit at the moment, I'm currently building a batch of 6 Rhinos. The price is 800€ for the finished base. Could you elaborate on what you mean "process of doing it"? Are you interested in the ordering process or building a joystick base yourself using a motor kit? :) I'm still working on the website, information and e-shop will be there in one place once that's taken care of :) You can freely ask any questions for more info about the Rhino base.

Vulkan•5/20/22, 7:02 PM

Oh I mean how one orders, like how long it would take for a batch to be ready and costs of shipping, I'm in AUS. I don't think I'm quite that talented yet to make my own.

Vulkan•5/20/22, 7:08 PM

More over about the base its self why do you think its the best on the market? What does it do compared which the others don't. How long is the warranty and will repairing it myself void it?

Kapti•5/20/22, 7:12 PM

Ill chime in real quick. A friend just ordered motors for a base we are working on and they just came in yesterday. The software for these motors is amazing. The amount of adjustability and features is awesome. I would expect to see this come out of a huge corporation with a big budget. Great job Walmis!

What would the motor kit include? I have most of a printed propeler style gimbal but have it in pieces as I've refocused on other stuff? I guess I'd need to print a fresh gimbal?

walmis•5/20/22, 7:38 PM

You can use that gimbal! The motor kit provides two motors, wires to hook everything up and an FFB USB controller. It's a plug and play system, you only need to do basic calibration to get it running.

do the motor kits include the hall effect sensors too?

No need. The position is direct from the motors.

Flashgod_VR•5/21/22, 5:05 AM

I also can chime in here. Walmis accomplished something on such a high quality standard on his own, where usually much bigger teams with higher count of individual professionals are needed. I was already extremely curious by the information he shared about the details, everything made sense "on paper" instantly. And after finally getting my hands on the Rhino, i was simply blown away.

Otto•5/21/22, 5:14 AM

Both @.kapti. and I experienced the same. This truly is a giant leap forward into the simulation experience for the community. Hoping to make it affordable for many to enjoy.

@everyone just wrote my first thoughts about the Rhino in the DCS FFB thread. some of you may find certain answers for your questions there: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/246873-honey-i-developed-ffb-joystick-diy/?do=findComment&comment=4973130

walmis•5/21/22, 3:22 PM

You can DM me - Currently I take orders by creating an invoice through PayPal. For the Rhino I'll take a small deposit to confirm the order, and once it's ready before shipping we'll finish the transaction.

Fer•5/21/22, 6:46 PM

Hel @walmis what’s the cost, does it use winwing and virpil sticks ??

walmis•5/21/22, 7:01 PM

Hi @fer4705 , the price for the complete base is 800EUR, Virpil is supported (T50CM2 - fully tested, others will follow), WinWing adapter will be developed later.
