Declared biggest RC model. But local pilot has a single engine airplane
that was originally an RC controlled drone for towing targets for the USAF.
Not a model, but real airplane. I think is a Cessna, but not sure.

And there are larger "real" airplanes than a Cessna that have been converted to remote control. So what? This claim is for a *model* airplane that was never designed or meant to carry a pilot or passengers. It was hand-built by a hobbyist in his workshop, modeled from a real plane but just scaled down. As such, it has the current standing of the largest RC model airplane.
