Good point. It is overkill, and as soon as the magnets are separated a
little bit, they lose most functionality. Also remember that these
magnets are (relatively) easy to slide apart, so if the plane part in
question is sheard off - it will just slide away. Their real force is
felt when separating

Technically yes, but probably not enough to cause RX operation to deteriorate
enough to be a problem. Again, the old adage is a rigorous range check if you
have changed or modified soemthing that has the potential to alter RX
sensitivity.

I'm curious - would rare-earth magnets in close proximity to receivers,
servos, or wiring have an effect on radio range or radio operation???

Is there an easy way to compare the shear strength of a magnetic wing
hold down with that of a nylon bolt without actually doing the physical
testing?

Two magnets will grip a lot stronger than a magnet and steel plate. If
the magnets are set up so that both poles are used (small horseshoe

Here's a thought.the safest aircraft is one that never leaves the
ground or can fly at all.so prepare your aircraft to withstand
clipping trees, buildings, slow moving cows, wind shear, bad pilot
decisions, etc. and pretty soon it is so heavy that it won't ever be
damaged.'cause it's su
I have use these on a smaller (100" span) model 3 piece wing. Just get
the mixed pack from:

And epoxy the best size in face to face with a piece of wax paper between.
Takes a little faith, though.
