    I think our paths more or less crossed about this time and I remember mentioning your challenge Lightning so it’s only apt it gets a spotlight! Don’t know about you old boy but before the 1.7 update it was a proper hassle to ‘convince’ parts to attach to each other without the ability to nudge/fine tune. I think it required more ‘skill’ in a way.
