Yes, I have a couple of these myself.
But currently I cannot find it for sale anywhere.
Perhaps inquire to Precision RC as to when new stock can be expected.

Yep there seems to be a lot of confusion in this thread.

Alan's name was not even mentioned in the OP.

I don't think those guys are in business anymore, the official address is 8 miles from me. If they are I can do a drive by  ;D

That's a shame.

Bloody expensive but great little tool where space is at a premium.
