I am using DraftSight at the moment as I want the pieces cut by a laser cutter.  The company that does it accepts .dwg files.

This isn't ready for prime time yet, but it already might do some elements of what some builders might want to do ... but at the moment you need to be able to fiddle (just a tiny bit) with python to use it.  https://code.google.com/p/madesigner/

Very important to know, I will arrange to purchase an electric airplane as soon as possible.

It isn't as simple as just using foam, check the vibration using Mission Planner.

Vibration is an issue with APM, in fact, most autopilots, and there are a number of threads on these forums about it.

Comment by Guilherme Tenório Bezerra on January 7, 2013 at 12:39pm

I use a foam below the plate to absorb some of the vibration.

Comment by Gustav Kuhn on January 7, 2013 at 12:34pm

Guilherme, if you are using a glow engine, you probably have a vibration issue.

Too much vibration, and you overload the processor.
