DRONE SETUP
Radio is NX10 running Crossfire for control link. Drone is an Armattan Badger with 2100kv 6s motors. Camera is a GoPro 8 with reelsteady.
What a magnificent plane, and what it must cost, the size is impressive, but the skill of the drone pilot is also impressive, to achieve these incredible shots, the landing of the excellent Airbus, you need to be a pilot with a lot of experience to dominate a plane of that size, my congratulations go to the pilot of the Airbus and if he put together the plane double congratulations, congratulations also go to the pilot of the drone. That good video!!!
Thank you vor your kind comment. Couldn't agree more! 🤙😎
Look like it might've cost like $30,000 or more to build that.

Yeah i was noticing that keeping stability seemed to require some effort, the real life version is of course fly by wire and so can constantly monitor that issue
Iip
I really cannot believe my eyes. Looks exactly like the A380, just scaled down. Wonderful job building such an aircraft. I cannot imagine the time, Engineering and the cost to build it. It flies just beautifully. Brilliant.
Thank you very much. Couldn't agree more!
@@RCScaleAirplanes what is his speed?
@@Max-xs4ix 150 mph
Incredible.
U being sarcastic right? Right? It is impressive but defo not a 1:1 rep example the engine cowling and nose weird asf
When it flies against a neutral background you literally cannot tell that’s it’s a scale model! 🤯😮✈️
I can
it moves too much in the air to be full size you can tell also its plastic shiny
It looks fantastic , but yeah you can tell it's a model .
I could
@@Travis_22 okay SheldonCooper… the normal people get it
6:46 literally forgot it was an RC plane. Crazy realistic! This is great!
Yeah I asked my mom to watch what gonna happen to plane and showed just the end of the video. She though it would get into some accident and focused on every detail but then people appeared and we were lauthing so much because it was so unexpected. She says this is a very realistic plane
You are correct. I went back and watched it again and I liked it very much 😅❤
I absolutely loved everything about this video.. The incredible aircraft The sounds The flypast The realism The brilliant drone footage And of course the skill..
That drone really adds to the flight simulator feel of it. very impressive.
Thank you very much
Great aircraft but as with all such models they need to slow everything down. Taxi slow, lengthen the take off run by increasing power slowly and climb out slowly Extraordinary skillful modelling.
@@michaelbrookes4256 fully agree. Unfortunately most of the pilots don't care about this.
my thoughts exactly
It even sounds like a real plane. So damn awesome!
That's added sound
@@adityasoni3794 no they are coming out from that plane for real
@@adityasoni3794 they are real jet engine
Could use some smoke though, from the tires when they hit the runway.
Jet engines bro. Jet engines
This is seriously the best rc plane I have ever seen, put the exact colors and words and design just like Thai airlines, I bet it took a long time to build! Love it
Many thanks. Glad you like it!
I love seeing these oversized toys fly. It's so relaxing and exciting.
I totally agree!
Sounds like the real thing!! And with retractable landing gear??!! Very cool!! Love it!!
Sounds like a real thing? You mean real jet plane? Maybe becuse it has real jet engines? 😂😂😂 bruhh its not complicated
Everything on it is real. It's scaled down to 1/13.
Hearing the 4 turbines working in unison is beautifully scale.
Flaps too😎
@@godilovedik4003 you really take your toys seriously don't you bud! :)
This is seriously incredible!!! In the close up shots, one can hardly distinguish between the real airplane and this model. What an amazing peace of work.

What a piece of engineering that must have been to build!!😄👍 Props to whoever was flying the drone to get those nice aerial shots!👍👍
Plane is SUPER sick but can we please take a moment for the drone operator!?!?!? Amazing footage.
Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate !!!
Awesome skill in getting the footage
@@jasonmajors654 *Thanks* 🤙😎
@Ragin Germasian, yea you really have to hand it to these operators! The drone actually reminds me of the "camera drones" in Half Life. Thankfully there were no blinding "light flashes" in our eyes, lol.
Holy cow, it just looks, sounds and flies like the real thing. Very impressive.
Yeah seeing it at the sky I thought it was a real plane Caring passengers wow really amazing good work man much love from Miami
Hope you're doing well
Kinda is the real thing I presume...just scaled down....worked at LAX for years and the sounds aren't similar they are identical...
6:45 to 7:30 It is as if we are watching a real plane and I forgot that it is a model. This man who made it has a beautiful soul and is very creative 😍

This IS the freaking coolest thing I've ever seen! Kudos to builder, controller, everyone that was part of this RC plane WOW!
I need job
Those shots while taxiing...indistinguishable from the real thing, impressive job by all...
Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate !!!
The plane looks impressive, one of the best remote control planes I've seen! Let's also give an award for who ever controlled the drone
It's really cool how they managed to find rare breed known as giant people just for this demonstration. They are quite a difficult find and I've heard their work hours cost a lot.
It's easy: They're all Union, with a $250 day rate, an hour catered lunch, and two 30-minute breaks.

Der A380 sieht aus wie echt. Hut ab in jeder Hinsicht. Kompliment!
Watching Joe Bribem fall down walking up the airplane steps was the best part!
Ok that’s freaking SICK! I’m also impressed with the drone pilots chasing the RC A380, remarkable work from the team
Dang, that's crazy, because it really looks like a genuine airliner.
These objects are truly jaw dropping! I can only think to strong multidisciplinary teams working on them. Fantastic job guys!
Thank you very much!
2:40 this shot is so surreal and real at the same time. Clearly they put a lot of love and effort into creating this masterpiece of engineering. Respect.

Thank you Jeff. As most of the r/c models, also this one is lightly overpowered 💪🏼😉
@@SolarWebsite ... fully agree 👍🏼 😉
@@RCScaleAirplanes It must have a high thrust to weight ratio to enable it gain speed and get airborne quickly
@@sebinamuwanga most of RC airplanes are overpowered 😉👍🏼
Well..... That drone is like the fly in your face. The airplane is very realistic and impressive, but I must say that I'm overwhelmed by the skills and coverage of the drone pilot. I salute you both. This is indeed an impressive video.
Really impressive work and pilot too with a smooth landing like a real.
Beautiful model, guys. The A380 was very comfortable to fly, probably not the best for fuel efficiency, but sure makes a terrific model.
Thank you for your kind comment !!!
Whoever made that drone is sooo gifted. Airbus might wanna think of hiring him/her.
I am OBSESSED!!! 😍🤌🏽 Beautiful scale A380 flight!!! Props to the pilot! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Seeing the landing gear working was Awesome.. Great job !
Thanks 👍
Iam more impressed by the landing Flaps
Still unbelievable how these small planes work like the real ones... absolutely mind blowing
The flight simulators for the pilot mice are sooooo rad toooooo
Wow. The sound and the look are just tremendous. To achieve this RC for sure it represents a lot, a lot, a lot and a lot or works. Bravo. And of top of that, the video combine with a drone is just awesome.

I am amazed of the skill of these guys who built it and flew it.
Congrats on a fantastic model and great flight. I don't do Giant Scale modeling. Don't have the skill sets, patience, space or money needed for such an adventure but I can sure appreciate a build as nice as yours. Thanks for letting us see the results of your hard work and effort.

The FPV drone footage is a similar perspective to what aliens would see when they buzz jets while transiting between our atmosphere and space.
Those drone shots are awesome
With a full scale airport setting and runway no one would ever know this is an RC. So amazing. Love watching these beautiful planes/jets and the pilots control them so expertly.
I wouldn't want to be hit by it, though. It would almost be like being hit by a real A380.
@Bobby Knight you’re not kidding!
WOW!!. Just fabulous! The drone footage makes it even more interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it.
It looks like the real A380 at the AirPort! What a beautiful plane great job!🤗🤗🤗🤗

PLEASE ADVISE . I was told to spread my savings across different things like stocks and bonds to protect and support my retirement.with everything being shaky,I'm considering going into Trade.?
I HAVE INCURRED SO MUCH LOSS TO TRADE ON MY OWN,I TRADE WELL ON DEMO BUT I THINK THE REAL TRADE IS MANIPULATED.
You are absolutely right. I have same issue loosing in real trade but win in Demo.I think about giving up sometimes.
I always advice new members to have an orientation on how it works before getting involved. Trade offers more benefits than just holding.

Fantastic! Absolutely love it!
wow very impressive. and that landing was smoother than many ive experienced on budget flights
Probably because flying an RC plane is vastly different from an actual airbus
I'm speechless. Unbelievable. What a take off and a well calculated lending. This is amazing what some minds out there can mold, assemble and fly a replica like that ease.
Landing was smooth because it doesn’t weigh as much 😂
I don’t even know how KZhead put me here….but this is amazing. I wish you the best of luck. I truly hope someone from Thai airways sees this and hires you for a good buck to fly this at shows etc. I’ve flown on their A380 in first class. One of the best flight experiences I’ve ever had
Beautiful 😍 nice landing that man 👌 and what an incredible model, at times during this video I actually thought I was watching a real Airbus A380 👏
Awesome stuff!
Que legal! Se não tivesse as pessoas na pista, nem notaria que são mini aviões. Perfeito!
Eu tenho que dizer que você está absolutamente certo. Mas se não houvesse pessoas ao redor, você não seria capaz de dizer o tamanho do modelo.

@@RCScaleAirplanes not a problem..just a suggestion for the future flights
@@RCScaleAirplanes I would have assumed that thre was a camera in the nose of the model to at least help with lining up the runway for landing, as well as for taxiing?

OMG, that's the smoothest landing I've ever seen for a rc airplane! Great job!
Yes, that was the "feather's touch" of a landing!
not really, it was a hard landing, if you look closely it basically fell, a smooth landing should look like you are still flying but you are on the ground, and what i mean is that there is no bumps or sudden drops
