World's Largest RC Airbus A380 Model Unveiled at 8.83 Metres Long
RC aircraft creator Ramy RC has built the world's largest remote-controlled Airbus A380 model, measuring 8.83 metres in length, with a 9.75-metre wingspan and weighing 362 kg. Built at 1/8 scale using CNC-cut EPS foam, fibreglass, and carbon fibre, the model features extraordinary detail — including landing gear door sequencing that exactly mirrors the real aircraft.

Highlights
- Ramy RC has built the world's largest RC Airbus A380 model at 1/8 scale, measuring 8.83 metres long with a 9.75-metre wingspan and weighing 362 kg.
- The fuselage is constructed from CNC-cut EPS foam reinforced with fibreglass and carbon fibre, while the wings integrate carbon fibre, aluminium alloy, foam, and wood.
- Each cabin window is individually cut out and fitted with a 3D-printed frame and acrylic pane rather than being painted on.
- An Airbus maintenance technician confirmed the model's landing gear door sequencing is identical to that of the real A380.
- This build significantly surpasses Ramy RC's previous A380 RC model in both scale and level of detail.
World's Largest RC Airbus A380 Model Unveiled at 8.83 Metres Long
Remote-controlled aircraft have long been a passion for aviation enthusiasts, and for many builders, bigger is always better. Well-known RC aircraft creator Ramy RC has now officially unveiled the world's largest remote-controlled Airbus A380 model, sending shockwaves through the RC aviation community.
Staggering Specifications
This 1/8-scale giant RC airliner boasts the following remarkable figures:
- Overall length: 29 ft (8.83 m)
- Wingspan: 32 ft (9.75 m)
- Weight: 800 lb (362 kg)
This is no ordinary model aircraft — it is a monumental creation that merges aeronautical engineering with meticulous craftsmanship.
Precision Structural Design
The fuselage is constructed from CNC-cut EPS foam (expanded polystyrene), wrapped in fibreglass for added strength and surface finish, with carbon fibre reinforcing the internal structure for rigidity. The wings integrate a combination of carbon fibre, aluminium alloy, foam, and wood to withstand the aerodynamic loads encountered during flight.
Extraordinary Attention to Detail
Ramy RC's dedication to authenticity is remarkable. Rather than painting the cabin windows onto the fuselage, each window was individually cut out and fitted with a 3D-printed window frame and an acrylic transparent pane, producing a strikingly realistic appearance. In the build video, however, one of the window panes is seen detaching mid-flight — a moment that quickly became a talking point among viewers.
Perhaps most impressively, a comment in the video from an Airbus maintenance technician noted that the landing gear door sequencing on the model matches that of the real A380 exactly — a level of technical accuracy that drew admiration even from industry professionals.
About the Creator
For those already familiar with Ramy RC, you may recall that he previously built an earlier A380 RC model. This latest creation surpasses that predecessor substantially in both scale and refinement.
It is worth noting that, like the Boeing 747, the full-size Airbus A380 is no longer in production, though the existing fleet remains in active service and is now capable of operating on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) derived from sources such as cooking oil.
Whether you are an RC aircraft enthusiast or an aviation engineering fan, Ramy RC's latest creation is undoubtedly one of the most awe-inspiring model aircraft builds in recent memory.
