If buying online, I suggest N42 or N52, and no lower. The magnets I got from the shop, even the 1/4" mags aren't very strong, meanwhile the N42 1/8" magnets hold my second Flyrant's wings pretty well.

Have you tried using a pin to support the arms? Put a pin near the magnet and in the body. Pin and magnet should be able to keep the arm in place. Yeah, the 1/8" magnet was strong enough to hold the wings up. It wasn't just the magnet it was also the socket that helped to keep them in place. If there wasn't a socket the wings would fall off. That and the thin part of the membrane pushes against the tail also helps.<br /><br />Have not tried magnetizing Hive Tyrant's wings. If it has the same type of socket as Hive Crone I would use 1/8" magnet.<br /><br />If you happen to give a try, let me know. Like to know how it turned out.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-48849162005220003632014-03-21T11:36:43.508-05:002014-03-21T11:36:43.508-05:00Awesome post!

Do you find that the magnets are strong enough to reliably hold the wings up?<br /><br />Also, on an only somewhat related subject, have you ever tried magnetizing a Hive Tyrant's wings, and what size magnet did you use there?Cold Comforthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931247823270725439noreply@blogger.com
