Basic Description

This craft is a full scale, stock replica of the Airbus A380-861. This specific variant of the aircraft features full stock GP7000 turbofans, which also include spinning turbines that spin up along with the engines. This craft was the result of various new construction techniques that allowed the build to proceed at a more steady pace than most of my other replicas, as well as new techniques that allowed me to make it more accurate. The craft has the looks, but as a consequence is extremely heavy. It flies well enough for its size, but is rather slow.

Special Thanks

The technique of using a fairing for the wing edges was ripped directly from the work of Evenflow, as well as the idea of incorporating spinning turbines. The craft which he utilized these techniques on (and the one that inspired me to build this replica) has yet to be posted, but the craft Evenflow has posted are awesome nonetheless, please give them a look!
