A video about a German who built the A380 as an RC-model - scale 1:15! The thing weighs 72 kg, is 4,80m long, 5,5m wide, has a takeoff-speed of 70 km/h and is no longer rated as an RC model - thus it falls under German aeronautical laws, must get start and landing permission from tower, may not fly outside of air-shows, and airspace needs to be prohibited for all regular airtraffic when this thing takes to the air.

Imagine a real airliner would land like this monster does at the end of the video!
