This is pretty cool, a flying, radio controlled jet plane, the A380. It looks about 15’ long, roughly, to my eye.

Is Maverick flying this thing? He buzzes the tower 3x.

From searching Radio controlled Airbus A380, it appears this RC model has been around for about 2 years. So maybe others have seen this but I just found it.

Similar one here, although powered by e-motors instead of jets:

This guy’s channel has a bunch of videos showing how he built his from scratch. Both planes look like they’re put together with crazy-good craftsmanship.
