THE BLACKWING
EBW-160 R/C

If you just want a great flying wing, without the FPV equipment, the R/C (Radio Controlled) Version of your Eclipson EBW-160 will suit your needs.  

This model is extremely easy to print, build, transport, and fly thanks to the inherent simplification of the flying wing configuration.  Another distinctive characteristic of this design is its longitudinal stability which is equal to the stability achieved by a classic airplane design. This characteristic makes it very easy and safe to hand launch.  3D printing design freedom allowed us to design an aircraft that is both very aerodynamic and lightweight. For instance, the airframe structure weighs in at only 265 gr for an airplane with a wingspan of 1.6 meters.  With a low wing loading (23g/dm2) more than one hour flight times are achievable!
(This version does not include all the necessary parts for FPV flight , optional vertical tail and big volume version)
