Hi Darren, I've been using the ferret tonight to bag me some more bargains and noticed that Google came up with a few other options. Next time you are adding more sources, please can I request you include these if possible.

Thanks for taking the time to scan and post the picture Jesus, greatly appreciated. It's really good to see the JDM Lanc in a place it was meant to be; rather than my pic of it in museum storage.

Thanks for the photo Eric, good to see it as it's intended use. I can't confirm if the design was 2 or 4 active engines but I can recall being told in the shop they were from chainsaws. I had just assumed it was all four.

Had to check my archived notes, as I don't have the Alula anymore. I think I sold it in at the 2014 Weston Park swapmeet. I had my CoG set 25mm back from the leading edge with some positive reflex in the elevons.

What can I say...? The Ferret has a new fur coat and it looks and works better than before. Thanks for your time on it Darren, much appreciated. The tesxt filter search to refine the results is a great feature. I tried to add a second filter but would only allow me one (me being greedy!). Is www.totemhobbies.co.uk worth adding? -

Hi Darren, is there a problem with the feed to www.rcferret.co.uk from Nexus Modelling Supplies? I noticed they were missing from most of my search results (not all). As a test, I searched for a servo 'QZ601', knowing Nexus have 2 in stock @ £37.99 each but didn't get Nexus in my results (all stores, no exclusions). Only Pegasus, TJD & Slough RC returned matches in test. Thanks for your support. -

Hi Darren Sorry to learn about your employment problems at the moment, I'm sure that won't last long and you will be very busy soon. Then again, it's a win win for the RC community, so thanks for looking at the site and giving the gears a little oiling. I'm still a regular user myself and did think it was fetching less results than it used to, but then again, I also put that down to a few of the listed shops being out of business. Despite all this, it was still saving me time and money when searching for items. I look forward to seeing it develop in the near future. Thanks again! If I think of a store to add, I will drop you a PM. PS: Just tested it and yes, quite a difference! An item that I've been having trouble finding is now returning in the results. Brilliant!
