154" Composite Boeing B787-800 Dreamliner
Boeing officially licensed RC aircraft!
Team Austars in partnership with Team Kuwait Q8 Present!
For more details, check Austars or Q8 websites
A380 coming soon!
Project background
a group of commercial pilots came up with an idea to implement airliners as RC models. Fueled with the passion to fly, as they were already flying RC models in their free time and flying as an airline pilot as a job, they decided to build their first model which is aimed to be 787-800 ARF (Almost Ready to Fly).
With the knowledge in the industry as a base as well as radio control experience of over twenty years, the first prototype came to life and was tested. The challenge just has become bigger as the first plane was extremely difficult to build.
With more prototypes being built, more and more tweaks were implemented in terms of quality assurance, ease of build, and improved flight characteristics, they finally land on a plane which is a joy to fly.
The team doesn't stop here, as they are back at the drawing board for another models airliner (A380). This time, all the experience that has been gained in building the first airplane has eased the process to make new model building seamless and much faster.
Please stay tuned for future releases and information about the model airliners!

Beautiful aircraft. You should make some scale fans that go in front of the turbines. Congrats on a phenomenal accomplishment.

Heartiest congratulations on a superb model, scale even to a composite structure and electric brakes !
Most importantly the profile, to my eyes at least, look exactly right, superb job.
As a Boeing captain for 20 years ( and my son in law is a 787 training captain, next time he goes to Kuwait I will go with him to see the models in the flesh) this model gets the juices flowing but transport may be a problem !
The price , 5950 usd, plus 1950 for the gear makes it VERY attracrive, too.
Brilliant job guys !
Good luck with the 380, the landing gear with its four trucks an 16 wheels is going to be a BIG challenge !
