Peter Gallivan Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I have read that using snall neodyne magnets ( whatever these are?) to retain cockpit covers such as used on the Easy Star works well. Does anyone have any experience and knowledge of stockists?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchweight Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yup. Very powerful magnets. Tiny too. Easily available off ebay for about £5 for 64.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/x64-Neodymium-Cube-1-8-Magnets-NdFeB-Magnet_W0QQitemZ140166178029QQihZ004QQcategoryZ147829QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 And by all accounts they work well on smaller models. On larger stuff, especially faster aerobatic type planes, something more is required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
