Magnets & RF Interference
I'm presuming the answer is 'NO' but I thought I would ask to be sure; do Magnets, typically the ones used to hold hatches closed, cause RF Interference in either 72mhz or 2.4ghz Receivers?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Ok, I see the answer to the magnets pertaining to receivers. How bout' this one. I've built a 1/12 AT-6 for club racing. I installed two HiTec wing servos for ailerons. As it came out I have two magnets very close to the servo's for my covers. Running the radio, the servos work fine, I have yet get to running and airplane and see what happens with vibration. (.15 glow engine)
Any thoughts on the proximity of magnets versus the servo's?
Thanks for any input on the subject.

Many builders use magnets without problems. If you're nervous about doing so, do some testing, or change out the magnets for screws.

If the magnets are moving across the wires, then you could have a problem. If the magnets and wires are not moving, you won't have a problem. It's the magnetic field moving around that can cause problems when that moving field goes across a wire. Then a current is induced in the wire.

Understand your analogy regarding magnet movement. Fortunately, the magnets are fixed on the airframe, with very thin sheet metal glued to the aileron cover for each magneto attach to. Right now, I'll take it a step further for when I get the aircraft powered up and with the engine running at various rpms in a static situation and go from there.
