You can find these at most craft shops.

Normally you put a magnet next to a washer or metal ring, to hold the magnet against the metal when the canopy is closed.

However on a plane I'd advise that you put TWO magnets against each other, so you would have say four sets of magnets ( 8 total )...

Four on the canopy, and four on the fuse, set up so that the magnets on the canopy align against the fuse ones.

For even more safety you can add a "hatch latch" or other similiar device.

That way you merely pull back on the latch and pop the canopy off.

I do this all the time with my electrics and it works great.

Status: offline 		The two wings. I have an scratch build Extra 300. I am looking to convert it into a bipe with a Ultimate wing design, the fuse lenght is the same that the Nitromodels Ultimate.

Thanks for your help.

Are you going to lower the wing?

The wings on the Ultimate are not tapered back, rather they are straight wings.

Status: offline 		I've had the Ultimate 120 55" wing for just over a year. I installed a .26 cc gasser in it, digital servos, still has the wheel skirts on it. The plane flies great. I have actually tired to twist it into splinters in the air, and it's survived everything I could throw at it, with no problems. I have had 3 deadstick landings that didn't fair so well, and each time some damage, but the 120 is still flying like a dream. BTW the deadstick crashes were only because I was too far out to make it back to the field. (Only thing to know about a bipe is that it won't glide very far, and KEEP THE NOSE DOWN and AIRSPEED UP on a deadstick, lest you will have a rolling stall) Hope this is helpful.

Status: offline 		I've had no problems with these: Reverser

I used the above on many planes.

I've also used the Hyperion servos which are programmable and reversable.

You buy two of the latter and revers on for perfectly matched servo pairs. I did this for my 50cc Ultimate.

Status: offline 		I use a "Matchbox" which is a bit more expensive than a reversing servo, but very accurate, and can be used in other applications as well. (Matching travel on ailerons, elevators, flaps, etc.
