Have anyone used magnets to hold there canopy in place? I was thinking of using those Rare Earth magnets - probably 1/4'' diameter and 1/10'' thickness. I'm no physicist but would the Magnets interfere with the RX not receiving signals? I have been wanting to maiden flight my plane but it has been windy (very windy) for the past few days. It's that time of the year when all the leaves start falling.
Yes, I used magnets and they worked very well. Mine were 3/8"round and !/8" thick. I left the tabs on back of the canopy, just didn't use the screws. They worked flawlessly.
