But they go great on the 3mm magnets that I have glued on my flight stands and will support the weight of the 1/600th fighters.<br /><br />So, I found a 1/16th drill bit and threw it in my cordless drill. With it at a low speed, I put the bit to a spot close to center line of the aircraft on the bottom and started with a slow speed. I check the depth once I get some metal shavings appearing. This is a trial and error process. I managed to put a hole all the way through a P40 on my second aircraft. Nearly got a finger as well. Ooops. <br /><br />I typically will not drill it deep enough to get the magnet flush. Just enough to give it a place to go. I will try to get a picture or two. Once you get the hang of it, you can work pretty rapidly with the cordless drill. Much faster than a pin vise will allow.<br /><br />I probably should use epoxy but I just go with superglue. The drilled divot seems to hold them rather well.Chris Stoesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285495844651490795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654492780115979825.post-88546877831664184162010-03-15T20:05:33.034-04:002010-03-15T20:05:33.034-04:00Chris have you got pics of how you add magnets?
me...Chris have you got pics of how you add magnets?<br />me, I'd be scared drilling a TD as they're so small!<br /><br />Ive just been epoxying a magnet to a flat spot or making a flat spot as a last resortBob Blanchetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534784639811440182noreply@blogger.com
