Question I have mounted aircraft on magnets and I have bases with magnets as well. My issue is when player moves a stand the planes tend to rotate, causing them to have to reface them. My question is any suggestions on a frictional material to put between the magnets to stop rotations and not compromise the magnetic grip? |

The problem might be that the two magnets are aligning with each other. What you want is one magnet and one of, say, iron or nickel. |

Ditch the magnets and mount each plane solidly on its own stand. |
