Airbus A-380 model airplane flight on-board video

This has nothing to do with my commercial photography, but I would like to show you this amazing video we took with good friend of mine, Sergey Dvinin. His passion is to build and operate airplanes, and he started form a small ones :-)
This is his largest aircraft for now: Airbus A-380, 4 motor jet, with mounted canon still camera on board. He told me it was quite difficult to operate such giant with camera on board, which probably doubled total weight.
