I am currently painting my night heron, hope I can launch this weekend.
I built magnetic hatches in front and back using 1/2" (1/8"thick ) rare earth magnets. It's not really hugely important at the moment but I was wondering if the magnets would interfere with a compass. Anyone here who has first hand experience on this?
