Magnets have been extremely popular in the model and craft world. Particularly, we have lots of craft and model making enthusiasts asking our experts about model magnets, as they are easily hidden within fixings whilst providing a sturdy hold.
In fact, one of our customers got in contact with us to show how they used our magnets in one of his model aircrafts! They had demonstrated how they used our 6mm (0.24″) diameter x 0.5mm (0.2″) thick N42 Neodymium Magnet – 0.2kg (0.44lbs) Pull in their Hawker Hurricane model aircraft. Our customer secured the models detachable hatch with our magnets to make sure it was secure in flight, whilst also making it removable if he needed to access the inside of the model plane.
To achieve this, the customer glued the magnets to each corner of the hatch and to the corresponding corner of the cut-out. These were magnets were attached using epoxy glue. The customer was delighted by the high performance of our neodymium magnets and was kind enough to share his project with us!
