The YouTuber who is creating the world’s largest remote-controlled Airbus A380-800 has given us all an update.
YouTuber and RC aircraft enthusiast Ramy RC is aiming to make the remote-controlled Airbus so big that it will rival some light aircraft with its size.
Building looks to have gone well so far, and the latest update offers some interesting extra details.
Ramy has already built an A380 in the past, but this is on another level.

How is progress going on the remote-controlled Airbus A380-800?
The latest video detailed the building of the wings, which require more work time due to their size.
Ramy also wanted to create a thrust-reversing mechanism on the engine nacelles.
These in real life activate when the engines are put into reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down.
While there is no actual reverse thrust on Ramy’s aircraft, he wanted to at least replicate the detail of the nacelles.
Ramy and his team use foam construction for many of the components, with fiberglass also used.
This construction method keeps the weight to a manageable level, while it is also quite strong.
As the video showed, the wings on the A380 truly are huge!
The huge Airbus was beginning to take shape
Ramy also showed off the landing gear that had been custom-made for the Airbus.
Every component is hugely impressive, with everything scaled as accurately as possible.
Towards the end of the video, we get to see the wings attached to the completed fuselage of the airliner.
The overall size of the aircraft is quite incredible, and the addition of some of the landing gear adds to this.
Ramy also showed off the detailing on the reverse thrust nacelle that will fit onto one of the engines.
Once completed, the nacelle will move to simulate the activation of reverse thrust on the massive scale model.
It is remarkable to see just how much progress has been achieved in such a short space of time.
When this aircraft takes to the skies, its size will no doubt stun onlookers at shows it attends.
