THE BLACKWING
EBW-160 UAV
EWB-160 also known as “The Blackwing” is a state-of-the-art 3D printed UAV. The latest technologies and innovations have been used to achieve a unique aircraft with spectacular performance. 3D printed design freedom allowed us to create an aircraft that is both very aerodynamic and lightweight. For instance, the airframe structure weighs in at only 275gr for an airplane with a wingspan of 1.6 meters. The Blackwing has been designed to carry a HD/FPV camera, flight controller, GPS, vTx, etc. All of this equipment will give you the option to fly FPV with your goggles or even full autonomous flight with the help of your computer or smartphone… But from our point of view, the most incredible aspect is that anyone can build at home and fly this aircraft for a ridiculous price.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE AND REVIEW
SHOPPING LIST
THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS ARE SPECIFIC FOR THE UAV VERSION
YOU NEED TO GET ALSO THE RC VERSION COMPONENTS TO FLY THE AIRCRAFT
FLIGHT CONTROLLER
​
Proposed - Matek Systems F411-WING
or Matek Systems F405-WING
VTX and ANTENNA
​
Proposed - Matek 5.8G 40CH 25/200/500mW
and Realacc Pagoda RHCP Antenna 65mm 5.8G
TELEMETRY MODULE
This component is not necessary but it is recommended to fly way point missions. FC Matek Systems F405-WING will be necessary to use this module (or equivalent with the same UARTS ports)
Proposed - 3DR 500mW 915MHz/433MHz
​
TUTORIALS
In case you don´t have previous experience with drones /FPV planes the following tutorials will help you to understand how to properly set up your flight controller using Inav or Arduplane.
Inav is preferred over Arduplane for beginners due to its simplicity , nevertheless arduplane is a more powerful tool especially to plan way point mission.
USING ARDUPLANE
In case you decide working with arduplane use the recommended Matek Systems F405-WING because F411 is not compatible.
