Do it now, you may never get another chance

Well I've just spent 3 weeks trying to get to grips with FCad, grr.
I find it very counter intuitive, what really threw me was I would save the drawing (Sketch in FCad) but when I loaded it back I couldn't edit it!
It seems it's one of those things that 'everybody knows' so is never written down. I finally found a tiny button that you have to right click!
A new model is about to break cover but to get a reasonable CoG I had to make some battery holders to stop them floating around in the fuselage.
Several iterations required to get them exactly the right size.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
