Konstruction 0.2.2.0 a little help with magnets

[putnamto]

was playing around with this today and i have a few questions.

whats the weight limit for the crane magnet, and the big magnets respectively, and what parts are/arent magnetic? 

and also is their any way to stop my vehicle from doing a flip when i  retract the legs?

Best place to ask this is in either the Konstruction or MKS threads - those are the relevant threads for this mod, and you'll get the most common user's attention best that way.

That said: Basically everything's magnetic.  I don't think that there's an exclusion there.  As for a weight limit - good question.  I was going to say 'depends on the local gravity' but you didn't ask mass, you asked weight, and that's the right term. 

And for stopping your vehicle from doing a flip - we'd have to see the vehicle.  I've had no problem, so it's probably a design/use issue.

about the magnet problems, i have a wheeezley turbojet engine sitting on the ground and the pal crane magnet doesnt stick to it at all.

and how do i use the claw? ive been trying to grasp wing parts and such lying on the ground and all they do is slip out.

and also how do i actually get things to stick to the magnet? when i try to pick up an evelon it just shoots off in a random direction away from the magnet, as if it had an opposite magnetic pole or something.

where are those threads? ive searched addons, addon development, and modded installs and came up with a bunch of people asking questions about konstruction but no topic devoted to it.

Here you go:

I list the second because while Konstruction is technically a separate mod, it's also a part of MKS and you might get more visibility that way.

Knowledge and experience.   First off, I knew what they were called, and that they existed - since I read them and have posted in them.  So I knew what I was looking for.

Secondly, I know that the search function on this forum is nearly non-functional, and it's better to use Google.    (If that hadn't worked quickly I would have gone to either their SpaceDock pages or their GitHub pages, which link back in this case.)
