Byrons Origanal Pipedream electric conversion.

I’ve had this plane hanging from the rafters in my garage for 8 years. After starting with electric RC planes at Baylands in Sunnyvale CA. after an 9 year hiatus from RC’s I convinced myself that the Pipe could be electrified. So after many trial and errors as of today it is a regular at Baylands on the weekends.
