Hiob Posted July 6, 2024 Posted July 6, 2024 I use the same one linked above. It is powerful enough to support a second device if needed and dead silent under the loads needed by the rhino. "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

Add a PSU and you have a complete Rhino (after assembly of course). 1 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
Diverzant Posted July 6, 2024 Posted July 6, 2024 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! 1

After re-assembling the thing three times now (for reasons) I can comfortably say, that you don’t need the inner retainers. It is much easier to just screw the outer retainers in with just the bolts and nuts (some loctide on the nuts to keep them from coming loose) as a first assembly step and then just stick everything together without broken fingers. It would even be smoother and easier to just print the outer retainers as part of the side walls just from the get go. But that „design-flaw“ is not on Winger. When Protomaker adapted the sheet wood design for 3D-printing, he only went 90% of the way* (there were probably reasons, no judgement). *imho of course 49 minutes ago, MAXsenna said: No matter the power of the motors?

Gunnergolly Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 (edited) I bought one of "Wingers" DIY kits and assembled it in less than a day once my motors had been delivered. I have had daily use with it for about two weeks now and absolutely loving it. I was going to print all the parts myself but instead decided to purchase a DIY kit from Winger for convenience. I have to say that the quality of Winger’s kit was outstanding and the kit comes with all the required hardware to complete, the motors/control board are purchased separately. The Gimbal came pre-assembled as did the emergency stop button wiring and all the printed parts were very well made and slotted together with no problems. Had to open up the holes on the bearing retainers slightly with a drill to allow the bolts to pass through easily but that's all, everything just slotted in to place. The VpForce telem FFB software is amazing and injects many effects in to the joystick which allows you to fly by feel. The Heatblur F-4E is made for FFB and you can really “feel” what the jet is doing. The Rhino works equally well with helicopters, you click the Force trim button and the cyclic stick holds it’s new position just like the real thing. If your comfortable using basic hand tools and doing a little bit of wiring than i would highly recommend taking the “Winger” DIY route. You can have a VPRhino up and running in about two weeks, which is the time it took for the motor kit from VpForce to be delivered. force_Rhino_Manual.pdf Rhino Assembly Reference12.pdf Edited August 19, 2024 by Gunnergolly 1 Win 11 Home 64Bit, i7-13700K@5.2Ghz Water Cooled, 32 Gb RAM, PNY RTX4090, Pimax Crystal, Quest Pro, Realsimulator FSSB R3 ULTRA, Virpil/Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS combo, MFG Crosswind Pedals.
