I believe they were called "Skypipe" and they advertized in RCJI.
They drifted off into obscurity after a few years. I'm sure that folks in the GTBA would recall them.
Does anyone else remember them and/or have seen one in action?
Yeah, that was a German company.
Here's another vid, not the Skypipe.
