A remote control aircraft enthusiast is building an RC Airbus A380 that could be as big as a Cessna light aircraft when it is finished.
Enthusiast Ramy has already built an RC A380, but that aircraft was of a much more conventional size and more in keeping with what other remote-controlled aircraft look like.
This new Airbus, however, will be much bigger, and you will be able to actually fit inside the fuselage, such is the scale of his latest creation.
The aircraft is so big that it rivals a Cessna light aircraft, and it is built with the same care and attention as the real A380.

Why Ramy wanted to build this RC Airbus A380
A video explained why Ramy wanted to build such a large RC aircraft.
Having already made something excellent with his first one, the enthusiast simply wanted to go one better.
His first A380 was around 1 to 21 scale, with a 13ft wingspan and a 12ft length.
Yet this new aircraft will be 1 to 10 scale, and as big, if not bigger, than a lot of light aircraft.
The fuselage is so big that a human could sit inside it.
It is cut out of a giant foam block, with its strength enhanced by fiberglass and carbon weave.
Balsa sections are cut out and glued onto the aircraft, allowing it to become one piece.
This is a giant RC aircraft project
The scale of this project is impressive, and it’s rare that an RC aircraft gets so big.
What makes this so incredible is how it’s as big as some real aircraft we can fly in.
Of course, the real Airbus A380 is the largest airliner in the world.
It comes as no surprise, then, that this model is so big.
The first flight of the real A380 took place in April 2005, and the jet remains in service around the world.
The most famous customer is Emirates, which is currently the largest operator of the super jumbo.
Production finished in 2021, and five airlines have already fully retired the A380 based on economic reasons.
