GYes.
MWhy not make them normal weight and just mount them to something?
AAny time I post ANY THING remember the above 
AAlso in my defense. I wasn’t planning on building a full sim rig when I started this….then a friend gifted me a rig
ANow I have this monstrosity
F@nibbylot 
NThis looks interesting, I’ve been looking to get a ffb sick for awhile
F
my search ended here...Fand it took more than a decade 
VDoes the sticking coming soon have a sustained force limit?. And what's it max momentary force
WThe 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.
VAwesome! 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.
WYou 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.
VOh 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.
VMore 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?
KIll 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!
RWhat 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?
WYou 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.
WI'll get back to you tomorrow :)
Rdo the motor kits include the hall effect sensors too?
KNo need. The position is direct from the motors.
SId like to preorder a fully built unit. let me know what i need to do.
FI 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.
OBoth @.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.
F@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
WYou 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.
FHel @walmis what’s the cost, does it use winwing and virpil sticks ??
WHi @fer4705 , the price for the complete base is 800EUR, Virpil is supported (T50CM2 - fully tested, others will follow), WinWing adapter will be developed later.
WYou can also read the great review by @flashgod_vr here: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/246873-honey-i-developed-ffb-joystick-diy/page/17/#comment-4973130
FThanks @walmis
FHey @walmis ,
I'm the developer of SimShaker for Aviators, @flashgod_vr ask me to get in touch with you to discuss the possibilities to enhance the FFB experience with SSA data, or to help you, to get data from DCS...

I@walmis , Good morning!! Could I have the data to pre-order the full base? I already have Virpil T50CM2 with extension. Thank you!
WGood morning! DM me, I'll get back to you. Currently out of town for a bit.
WHi there! Welcome! I'll DM you in a bit :)
THey guys
WWelcome!

WReceived the shift register boards, gonna test them tomorrow 
OI'm going to need 2, soon 
MWill the rhino be available as a kit or just fully assembled?
WHi, the Rhino will be fully assembled.
MThnx, very excited about this project
WMy mission is to bring back FFB from the dead
Athat's a pretty worthy mission as far as I'm concerned
PI'm interested in using the motor kit for a 737 control column in P3D/MSFS, the most important part for me is to be able to simulate trim adjustments accurately and the 'heavyness' of controls - is this currently supported by the software or is further development needed?
WI think it should be possible to simulate the "heaviness" using the inertia/damper/friction combination. Trim is also not a problem if the sim supports native FFB. I do not know how well P3D supports FFB, for MSFS, XPForce plugin should allow for pretty good FFB. The mechanics for the yoke should be interesting :) To summarize - out of the box experience should be pretty good and some improvements will be definitely possible to implement via firmware updates with your feedback.
Adid I understand correctly that the total cost of an operational unit would be closer to 1k€?
WThe motor kits are from 299€ to 439€, with mechanics it can come close to 1k definitely. The complete Rhino base is 799€ :)
