It was a big moment for this American man as he got to fly the world’s biggest RC Boeing 777-9X plane into the sky.
Weighing in at 630Ib and with a wingspan of 33 feet, this wasn’t quite the scale of the real deal Boeing.
But it was still an impressive sight nonetheless, and it was remarkable to see it take to the sky.
That just leaves the rest of us with one burning question – how on Earth does he do it?
Flying RC planes is another day at the office for this YouTuber
At one point or another, we’ve probably all seen a remote controlled plane in action.
But those planes were child’s play compared to the jets that YouTuber Ramy RC has at his disposal.
Remember the time he made the world’s biggest Airbus A380 and finished it off in a Lufthansa livery?
Well, that came after months of work, installing a mind-blowing 39 servos and five actuators, which controlled everything from flaps to landing gear doors.
That’s right, these planes included landing gear doors.
These things weren’t built just to be admired, they were built to be flown.
And it was much the same with Ramy’s latest creation, a Boeing 777-9X.
Seeing Ramy and his team put it together was a surreal sight, with the men appearing like giants beside the plane.
But make no mistake, this plane was no museum piece.
This was a living, breathing machine with landing gear, engines, and more wiring than you’d know what to do with.
After all the construction, it was time for the moment of truth – could this Boeing become airborne?

One shiny livery later, and the plane was gearing up for takeoff.
On hand to steer the plane via a remote control was Tyler Perry.
Yes, that Tyler Perry.
Turns out, the actor is a big RC aviation enthusiast, and has ample experience flying them, according to another RC aviation creator.
With that level of expertise, it’s no wonder that this takeoff was so graceful and effortless.
If you didn’t know any better, you would have thought you were watching a full scale Boeing take off.
The landing was just as smooth, which is no surprise.
Fans lauded the plane as ‘stunning’, while also putting in their own requests for what the next build should be.
Only time will tell what Ramy decides to put his talents towards next.
Following stints at LadBible, The Sun, The New York Post, and the Daily Mail, Ben joined the team full-time in February 2025. In his role as Senior Content Writer, his sparkling copy, the ability to sniff out a good story at 100 paces, and a GSOH quickly led to him becoming an integral and invaluable member of the writing staff.
