Quick and fast - combination of WoG planes with metallball/magnet more efficient

[Tyrell63]

Hi Pilots

Maybe someone will find this useful:

When using flat magnets and metall balls for the WoG planes to simulate turns and ascend or descent manovers, the plane is usually very flimsy.
The prosition of the plane is not really fixed.
You can use now magnets with a hole or like a cup....but what to do if you are lazy like me

Use a simple washer.
Like this here:

Now you can set every position what is needed and the plane is still fixed


If you find it not useful (or everyone still knows it), no probblem.
For me its working fine (and its much easier and cheaper using a washer instead of using ring magnets or drilling a deepeing into the magnet)

thats a good idea!!!

Certainly saves having to search around for the ring magnets, and is most likely cheaper too.
Neat solution Lutz.

Brilliant.

Simple ideas are often the best ones. And there is little trouble finding materials for this one, because washers are readily available.
