Upgrade your toys! A fully functional radio-controlled model of the Airbus A380, the largest passenger plane in the world.
Like the real deal, this model is really impressive, too: It’s huge — as big as a person. Sure beats the rubber-band-powered wooden planes I had as a kid…

Mark-I think you should make a bulk order of these and sell them here-I’ll take 2!

FYI, I keep looking for more info about this. I found more images, which give you an even better sense of how big this model is, but no details on if you can actually buy one of these. My guess is that it’s a homemade one-of-a-kind model. If anyone has any info, though, drop me a line!

[...] Leave the big guns at home Though it might seem appropriate to bring to the airport, don’t bring your human-sized radio-controlled Airbus A380 model through the checkpoint. Now THAT’S a bad-ass radio controlled toy. Watch it fly in the video here. [...]

Sweet toy … hope no military planes are flying in the area … they might think it’s a missile.

Probably costs as much to build as it is to buy a Leer jet!
