<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hi All,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">A while back I mentioned that I am mounting my vertical thrusters on permanent magnets. I welded flat seats to the hull for the magnets to sit on and I tried it out. I started with 3 magnets per motor and that was not enough. I add 2 magnets per motor to 5 each. So far it is great, and I can not pull the mounts off by hand unless I torque on them from the side. I will finish mounting them and then do a weight test. This means all my motors and arm etc jettison.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hank</div><div><br></div>

The fact is with all the success comes failures. I broke my nice fibreglass battery box by being stupid. It took me a full 4 days to fabricate a new one from 1\8 steel plate and then transfer the electric bits and batteries. Then the task of installing the 350 lb box without separating the chassis from the sphere.
