Using Magnets in professional and hobby models are becoming increasingly popular. Each week we receive a number of inquiries from enthusiasts across Europe wanting to integrate magnets into their home model kits.
This week we received an email from Richard in Hertfordshire who wanted to share with us how he had used our magnets in his latest model airplane.

Richard purchased 2 packs of 10mm diameter circular disc magnets to form an integral part of his plane’s design. When Richard contacted us he explained that the cowl (nose) of the airplane was attached to the airplane body using four screws.
Richard wanted to modify this by removing the need for screws and replacing them with circular disc magnets.
Removing the screws from the cowl enhanced the plane’s external appearance and easily allowed access to the electric motor, speed control, and batteries. Richard was very pleased with the final result.

We would like to thank Richard for sharing his magnet story with us and thank him for sending in some great photos of the completed model.
