I've never worked on anything that big and was surprised at how tight a tolerance they work to involving such a large part with that amount of flex..

I saw that as well, and I've seen the tech manuals and in some case the tolerances are several thousandsth of an inch.
Airbus (who build the A380) is a part of EADS
