The video from RCHeliJet shows the model plane 1:15 scale taking off from the runway, looking a lot of like a real jetliner in the sky as its flying around for a few minutes.One of the `problems` this RC Airbus A380 has is in its small 10 Liter fuel tank, it limits its range which means that it can only stay airborne for about 8 minutes.
