    Over 200 pounds and 19 foot wing span. Yep, that's big.

    Nice, never seen one so detailed. So pretty she looks real

    Hows it powered, I'm thinking Ducked-Fan but NOT sure?

    Although I wouldn't call that landing a "scale" landing {hehe} but like they say "any landing you can walk away from is a good landing"

    If it was a true scale A380 they would have had one of the engines fall off in flight like the real ones do.......

    It just blew up in flight really, but I am NOT a fan of Airbus equipment, seems like all they do is crash all the time. I only fly Boeing stuff when I have a choice

    I guess Rain Man can't fly Qantas anymore.....

    No pics yet, the spare propellers arrived but not the kit.  I think it will arrive this Wednesday or Thursday.
