[RCSE] Rare earth magnets as wing retention devices?

[Steve Lange]

One more question: anyone tried using large rare earth magnets as wing 
retention devices on wings with plug-in wing panels? I know that these 
are routinely used for hatch and canopy hold-downs and similar, just 
wondering if people have tried them in place of snap-type wing locks or 
hook & band retention systems?
