RC plane enthusiast and popular YouTuber Ramy RC recently unveiled his most impressive creation yet, a 1/8 scale RC model of the Airbus A380 airliner. The massive aircraft fuselage was cut out of a giant foam block and reinforced with fiberglass and carbon weave. The four 250-mm motors sitting under the wings are capable of lifting this behemoth off the ground, despite its 800-pound weight.
In a series of videos documenting the build of the world’s largest RC A380, Ramy RC revealed that the ever-growing weight of the aircraft was always the biggest issue. He managed to solve it by using a lot of light but strong materials, like carbon fibre with a honeycomb core, but it still took a lot of trial and error to make it work.
Interestingly, Ramy RC’s creation is long and wide enough to actually fit a person inside, horizontally, and is about the size of some Cesna light planes. Although specific flight speeds have not yet been revealed, the fact that this enormous RC model can actually take off and land like an actual jet (with servo-powered landing train and everything) is impressive enough.
Ramy RC spent months working on the world’s largest RC Airbus A380, making countless adjustments along the way, but the end result is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
