They latch to each other as well

 Busjockey 55 points

Thanks xs4reak, I realized that already. Reason I asked is I'm a bit frugal and thought why use two when you only need to use one. I'm trying to get an order ready to submit before the weekend and was wondering whether HK sold the little metal pieces they use to attract the magnet, if not I' ll just go the route you suggested or fabricate my own.

You could also use any strip of s**** metal. It doesn't have to match exactly the dimensions of the magnet. I use strips of the material that makes the PC case.

I use a small steel thumb tack, the ones without plastic coloring or paint on the head.

 Lanius 110 points

YES. I have used it for the same thing. VERY strong magnets. Be careful this magnets are brittle and break easily when struck. Hope it helps.

 milli_boy 235 points

in gauss no info avaliable but is very strong for the piece of 1cm scuare

 Arsenio 265 points

actually, I use it for many purposes not just modeling. are really strong.

 Janek 9 points

Velmi dobré a silné magnety.

 JanFloris 37 points

I received mine a week ago, and they are great! Very strong.

 Florian 42 points

Die Magnete sind sehr stark

 GeniolocoSinCura 89 points

is bery strong ilike this for support cocpits

 SamWitj 5 points

maybe it will have about 2 or 3 pounds of pull force .

 Firedog 138 points

Im using uhu por (uhu creative in the states) to fix them on my foamies.

 RCFlight13 52 points

Lots of very high quality hot glue, they just tear themselves clean when I tried using epoxy.

 A.J. Van der Plas 87 points

epoxy will work. You might want to use two sided tape. Like foam-tape, or just regular tape.

Haven't tried yet with CA, maybe that works just as good as epoxy...

 vadson 98 points

It is better to glue on the epoxy adhesive, you can use 5 minute epoxy!

 bizzeus 57 points

foam safe CA..like bSi Super-Gold or any foam compatible CA..check hobbykings section on glues..they have plenty CA foam safe glue to choose from

 *Thomas* 31 points

You need strong glue or epoxy. These are STRONG magnets :)

 Mohamed 46 points

Hello, I use CA glue but before, I scratch the magnet because under the beautiful polished surface, there are harshness. Be careful, they break themselves easily. Good flight.

 MarceloZorzi 19 points

the principle would be the best epoxy glue, try also using the medium viscosity cyanoacrylate

 ANLUCAS 147 points

I use CA Kicker without any problems.

 thisisarun 10 points

epoxy is best, but tried hot glue. It is strong, though I am using one side magnet and other-side steel.

 maverick903 5 points

moi j'ai collé ces aimants avec de la cyano qui est durcie avec de la poudre de silice et çà fonctionne nikel !

 Bill Bailey 9 points

Hi mate I cant see you having any success gluing Thea's to foam.!!! even if you could it would rip the foam out before releasing . You could probably get away with gluing a small piece of ply to the foam and then the magnet to that. It's all about surface aria. I always use CA thick . Good luck

 ZZack 6 points

I've used thin CA but make sure the surface is cleaned before glueing.

 Katrine 30 points

I've glued these with both thick, thin and "gap filling" CA, works like a charm. - I suppose it would depend on the surface you fasten them on. On a balsa frame or similar I would definately go for CA, because it will get drawn into the wood. On an uneven surface, like foam, epoxy would likely be a better choice, simply because CA does not fill the relatively large gaps in foam very well. Alternatively there is contact glue (the kind you put on both surfaces, then let dry and press firmly togeth

 narvin 11 points

Use on the my depron model, strong and very magnetic.

 aJS32 281 points

I am using foamsafe CA available from HK. Hold it in place very strongly. Regards

 Chris 8 points

If your magnet keeps pulling off put a thin separator layer like cardboard on top to lower it's strength. also instead of another magnet or a Metal plate, a screw head filed flat will often do the job.

 Charlesd 741 points

Definately not.. any real gust of wind will pull it off for sure..

 Lynda 36 points

i think if you use a few pairs it might be okay.. i use them to hold the wings on my indoor 3d plane, but that is much different from the skyfun

 nitc_india 425 points

they will of course do the job....and it will be tight enough ..they are sooo much powerfull..

 ANLUCAS 147 points

If you several pairs of them maybe.

 ZZack 6 points

Try to put 2 sets for stronger attachment. Make sure you have wing lock to prevent rotation if you are using spar tube.

 Mathew 15 points

Actually, if you have some interlock with a bunch of magnets, it will hold, but i dont think you will want the extra weight

 aJS32 281 points

If you put 2 carbon tubes along the fuselage and 2 carbon rods into the wings to slide those rods into the tubes when connecting wings to the fuselage, then, I think, 5 magnets for each wing could held it ...

 Spark29 12 points

The magnets would be more like a backup for the removable wing. The main solution would be a carbon tube that goes from tip to tip, and then the magnet just hold everything together.

 Sawdust 1605 points

They're in stock now! HURRY HURRY!!!!

 Charlesd 741 points

I was lucky.. but it seem that all their(HK) air craft has these magnets in them. I am pretty sure that HK uses them within there craft. I don't know when they had restock.. but I can tell you that they don't stay instock for long.

 sandererwin 6 points

Hi there,
I just placed an order on october 27th and a few days later it was reserved for me with the rest of my order.
I think the stock will be refilled once in three weeks or something like that.
Hope you get them soon,
Greetings from holland

 Barney_5 100 points

received some Nov. 24 2010 don't know about restocking

 Chris 8 points

There are people out there using these magnets for overunity Generators so they are popular for more than just our Radio- Hobbies. This may be why stock moves well in these magnets. They are the most powerful available but not the Largest Magnets.

 giodonk 30 points

The magnet in the picture only looks silver because of the angle at which the photo was taken, it is just a reflection. These magnets are coated in nickel, which looks very much like copper in colour. If they weren't coated in nickel they would break too easily.

 __Coyo 96 points

Silver or nickel looks same for me, but my magnet looks like a bare PCB: target=_blank> as far as I know before coated with nickel, it should be coated by copper first. cmiiw

 Zack 25 points

Mine were copper coated as well.

 mfernandezga 67 points

I have too and the color is copper

 lewood 43 points

Mine were copper too, but I don't care because once I have them mounted on a plane, I don't see them anymore. And as long as they are as strong as currently, I don't see a reason to buy different magnets. Hope this helps

 ngashok 74 points

No I got it with copper coating.

 marco 14 points

I've ordered two packs of these magnets, and both were copper.

 Charlesd 741 points

You never really know what you will get from HK. but if it still works fine, I don't see the real problem.

 Lynda 36 points

i bought these twice, and once i got silver and the next copper..

 Chris 8 points

The reason for the plating is because the Magnets are prone to corrosion if they are not plated. Remember if you break them into smaller Magnets to seal the broken magnet surface with Paint or something similar.

 Junior 26 points

very Good MAgnets

 ngashok 74 points

They are strong. Holds my canopy very well

 Charlesd 741 points

True true..

 superebiker 36 points

Step up! I keep the phone book on the fridge now.

 JRBeaman 318 points

As long as there is no magnetic cards or anything, they won't hurt electronics. Be sure to keep your credit cards away from them. VERY FAR AWAY!

 JRBeaman 318 points

Another problem is that magnets attract very tiny metal particles, and those could get into your electronics if you have them right on the receiver. Keep them away from your servos, as they are magnetic devices. Any small metal pieces in electronics can also be effected, so being on your canopy, or wings should be no problem, but don't use them to hold your ESC or Receiver in place. Keep them at least 1 inch or more away.

 hubben 300 points

No, no problem.

 ricky 8 points

I bought magnets with other electrical stuff and they works perfectly. They arrive sealed two times with bubble wrap.

 Bionicman 27 points

I bought it with all that u mentioned above. Its absolutely safe. They put it in several bubble packs and seal it with tapes in the bottom of the box. It can possibly have no interactions

 Charlesd 741 points

Most would say no.. but I say try putting some plastic in between these components just to be sure cause these magnets are pretty strong.

 Charlesd 741 points

definately..

 Lynda 36 points

these are very strong.. and i mean VERY, they are so small, and they will easily hold almost any canopy down, i use a few of them to hold screws, and they attract 15 bolts, nuts, screws easily. i highly reccomend these for many things, ans at this price i would say "just buy them,, useful"
