Attaching a horizontal stabilizer to a model airplane

Hello Magnet-Shop Team,
I'm an avid model builder, and the question always comes up: How do I attach my plug-in horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage? There are a variety of ways I've solved this problem. But I wasn't satisfied with any of them. Whether it was screwing, fastening with springs, or using grub screws in the spar, these options are always a hassle when assembling the model.
Now I've tried your neodymium magnets, and I'm thrilled with the solution!
I used the Disc magnet Ø 5.0 x 3.0 mm N40 Nickel - holds 900 g!

Finally, a picture of the shell of my Grob G180 SPn.

First, I checked the position of the magnets on the mount of the I marked the horizontal stabilizer on the left and right sides of the vertical stabilizer and on the root ribs of the stabilizers themselves. Then, using a standard hand-held milling machine, I machined two holes, each on the left and right sides of the mount and in the left and right elevators. In this case, they were 5x3mm.

I then simply attached the neodymium magnet with a little Epoxy two-component adhesive 24 ml transparent twin syringe.
I did the same for the other three holes. It's especially important to ensure the correct polarity of the magnets.

Now that the resin has hardened, simply snap them together, and the tail unit is attached to the fuselage without any fiddling! With the two disc magnets on each side, the tail unit is easily held to the fuselage and can also be easily removed again.

Exactly as it should be!
