Hello everyone, as a fresh member of the DIY Rhino club I would like to give my 2 cents about it. Starting from beggining the packaging labeling etc was done imaculate. Gymbal is preassembled and comes in a comfy foam cushion. The parts themselves, being sceptical about 3D printed stuff really blew me away how tough and good theyve been done (not a single thread destroyed by me lol) Overall everything fits VERY nicely and snug so you dont have play or that you need to file off a piece or something like that. I hate the fucking retainers, thats all Im gonna say about them lol. Winger was with me the whole way through the process with tips and help although I think I went easy on him with as few questions as I had Really, thanks @Winger for all the help! Basically it all comes down to this. If you want a Rhino but dont want to wait and you know which way to turn the screw to tighten it and you did it a few times in life you will have absolutely no problem assemblying it yourself. Theres literally not a single reason to be sceptical or afraid of going the DIY route. Im eager to see how it compares directly to the actual Rhino from Walmis since I will be getting that aswell so I might exapnd on this topic. Thats all from me, now go write Winger and get your DIY Rhino! You cant imagine what difference it makes in DCS!
I tested with the SA-11 since its the meaenest mofo of the bunch because of all the tracking vehicles/launchers etc. Basically if you are out of the range of the track radar and launch a HARM, SR wont turn off and will eat AGM-88 every time. If you enter the zone of engagement and TR starts to ping you and you launch, SR goes off and NEVER comes back on. Also TRs have eaten A LOT of carrots and can detect you as soon as you enter the red circle and turn themselves on, as soon as you are out of the circle they go off.
