I'm not quite sure I follow, but are you saying, you ignore the magnet, and just use a pin to hold the plane to the stand?

I've rarely had a magnet come off of a stand, mostly due to the strength of magnet I use.  The super glue loses the battle.  As the magnet on the aircraft is usually seated in a hole, they tend to stay put.

I find that some of the larger aircraft need two stands/magnets for stability.  One of mine has three stands/magnets.

Are your stands metal, or plastic? It is gluing the magnets to plastic stands that I find is the weak point.
