- Yes, build the Outlaw250 RC plane for FPV or LOS with me in real-time, starting with part 1 where you get all the dimensions and instructions to cut out the parts needed to make this wonderful little model which won't even need to be registered with your local aviation authority.
Part 2 (the gluing) will be up in a day or two, once you've had a chance to recover from part 1.
And yes, even though this video is some 47 minutes long, my Patreon supporters have made it possible to leave out those evil mid-roll ads so thumbs up to them!

Hi what was the cg? must have missed it.
The CG wasn't mentioned in this video as it was just the cutting out. There is a build video to follow soon which may have the CG. If you really want to get going try it at 25% chord or watch the original development videos and see if it was mentioned there.
@@SparkyFlight thankyou
@Gary Owen Thanks!
Thank you, Bruce, for making this build video! It's refreshing to see a build that's unapologetically cavalier. We're not all aerospace engineers and it's good to know that making a foamy doesn't have to be so stressful!
"Glides like a small windowless building" 🤣
It's official! The Outlaw 250 will be my first scratch build. I'll send you the pics when it's done. Just before maiden, because I just crash a lot. Thanks, maestro!
Don't worry, it's pretty tough :-)
Come on Bruce, don’t keep us hanging on. The first video was great. Don’t spoil it by keeping us waiting for the second part.....please!
New to scratch building and spent the morning cutting out all the parts. Part 2 needs to hurry up. Thank you Bruce for the videos and enjoyment you bring to the hobby
Thank u 4 the build i change it a little lowered the elevator & made the rudders functional. Flies like a dream. The final weight 248g
Escapement?! Sorry Bruce, but that means you have been flying models a looooonng time. I inherited a few escapements from my Dad when he passed. I have been trying to work out how to use them again just for a nostalgia-build with a solid hat-tip to my Dad's memory. I'm planning this Outlaw build with current equipment. Thanks for the video.
Hopefully Arnold is building one too and we can all go and fly together
Hello Bruce!!! I'm an illegal Mavic Mini & Mini 2 operator/pilot! Just want to say that your channel is awesome and ama9amd I really do love your content from a long time ago also, like when you used to build many other things, especially your antennas have made me have really great respect for you!
Also your sense of humor is so sweet bro..
😁🔜🛸
Sweet
Keep well and be safe Bruce!!!
🛸
Thanks for the kind words.
I have watched many of your videos and have enjoyed all of them. This video inspired me to build your F250 Outlaw. I built it in stock configuration to see how everything fit. I prefer to have a plane that is configured as a tractor rather than a pusher. I built a version of your design with a few tweaks, but mostly stock except that it has a tractor setup. I haven't flown anything in a couple of years but I am a member of the local flying club here in California. I chickened out and asked a friend to do the maiden flight for me. We set up the radio for a conservative config and he threw the plane into the air, It was a handful! He brought it in, and we dialed down the throws and increased the expo. He put it into the air a second time and this time it flew like a small, beautiful bird that knew what it was doing. He flew it for a few minutes and brought it in without incident. All of the other pilots came over to look at it and ask questions about it. It was the hit of the day, thank you so much.
I should also try to comment once on this video for everytime I asked when the build video was coming.
I’m currently gathering materials to build this. It’s happening!!! We should all build the XJet Outlaw 250 and post a flight video with an XJet tag! Thank you Bruce!
Awesome! I’m doing something with a similar end goal of a light weight small plane. I’m cutting out an ft arrow as we speak! I’m very excited
Hey! This is my first scratch build who in fact flies! Thank you Bruce! I did longer 800mm wings, used coroflute for all but the wing (the wings steps are coreflute) & top & bottom of the pod, the wing and pod parts are foam board and then I use some popsicle sticks and heavy duty tape and I'm very pleased! tests indicatee it can tolerate a lot more weight, I'm seriously considering putting wheels on it! I can't wait to hook up my camera and use this fpv as intended!
love the energy of grandpa and his passion for planes just woww
Hi Bruce. Your wing is a KFM airfoil. I also fly KFMs and have found that adding a second step to the underside of the wing, making a 'symetrical' airfoil, improves the flying characteristics of the model, compared to the single step. Cheers! Paul
Yep, I encourage folk to experiment. The only thing is that it gets close to 250g "as is" and the extra foam board could push things over the limit for some and we would not want to be in breach of the regulations now, would we? :-)
Escapement? Do you still remember those bang-bang rudder controllers?... Oh for the days of single-channel R/T's :)
The prop aperture should that have a greater clearance to reduce the buzzing noise generated by the air pressure generated between the two surfaces as the prop passes by.
I did bevel both sides of the ailerons and the leading edges don't need the corners chamfered because in the case of the wing it's double-thickness and in the case of the tailplane it can't hit the ground due to the angles involved. The prop hole could be bigger but that would start introducing weakness into the structure. Of course people can make whatever changes they want and I encourage folk to experiment with their own craft.
Hi Bruce, hope you are well. I have all the pieces cut out and my motor etc ready to install.. I have really enjoyed your video of the initial stages and have spent literally months researching a project. I have no building or flying experience and so I am stalled at the moment having gathered the equipment and committed to your build. I can see that assembly should be quite straightforward with a glue gun but I need some help with the initial set up. (Centre over gravity, flight controller setup etc) I am sure your next video will cover these topics and await this with baited breath. Please keep publishing as you provide so much enjoyment and enthusiasm for all of us newcomers out here. Once again, thank you. David
If it helps Vector board is an ideal for the nose front. 2mm is flexible and wraps easily. Its super for using it as a battery cover and easily secured at the opening end with velcro (felt and hook tape)
This video is so much fun to watch. I watch it Atleast monthly. Slowly building my anticipation for part two. Slowly.
I was waiting for your plan uncle Bruce. Until I can't wait so I build mine according your design, but little bigger. I flown this morning to 12km and back. This kind of micro shape is amazing. xD
12km! Wow!
@@gmivisualsjason3729 yes, with li-ion pack xD
Triangles are nearly the same, only slotly different, right? Fun plane.
Chuckled at 'released in a day or 2'. No mention of month or year though my man. Excellent timing though, seriously dusting off the building board, wife happened to ask me what I wanted for my 68th on 10/01. 🤔🤭 👍😉
OMG part 2! Thought i will finish my plane already using FreeCAD.
With FreeCAD the plans appear like magic, with the spreadsheet
feature FreeCAD builds the plane to the dimensions of your pod
and material thinknes :). Just type them in! Thanks Mr. Simpson
for providing this Outlaw RC to the community! :)
I haven't built a foamie in well over a year. Mostly sub 250 quads. So happy, I already have all my parts cut out and, now, waiting for part 2. Might even try maidening this in the cold Canadian winter. X-jet rulez!
I will watch this video once for everytime I posted when is the outlaw 250 video coming!
Amazing. I've seen a unicorn. Time to go buy a lotto ticket. 😜 Thanks for publishing the video (finally).
Nice bruce and a load of positive comments to boot !!!this is when you are like a breath of fresh air. Positive energy it great to see and hear you enthused. Skill’s and creativity 🙏🙏
Just finished with cutting out all the bits....... when's part two?
A year has passed, and we are waiting for part 2!🙄 Happy New Year!🤝😊
Well Done Kind Sir! Fun and informative from Ron and the guys at XJET RC RULZ.

Hi Bruce. Great video. I followed along and modelled the Outlaw250. I am happy to email the CAD/ PDF Plans to you. Please contact me if you want it. Happy Flying. Edit. Please see link below for rev A plans and a model. XD
Quick PDF drawn up would be nice.
I would be very appreciative for CAD/PDF files of the plans. It would be helpful for my Aeronautic STEAM students.
A Quick drawing. More to follow according to the 2nd video. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1am361mBETPrjoVIq8qTum2DAwYyVa66T?usp=sharing
@@mreunit1445 Thanks
I will update the drawing with video 2 and include 1:1 parts on some sheets. Enjoy!
My son and I are using this as a guide for our first ever plane build. Would really love part 2 as need to know about all the other bits and bobs. Am a racing drone builder therefore have TX, RX, but not sure about esc size and bits like servos and getting them to work etc...
Part two will drop shortly.
Finished mine this week and the weight came in at around 240 grams with a 2s battery installed. Flew alright but kind of under powered. I am planning on upgrading to a 3s and test flying it again. Good design, thanks for the videos.
Dare I say it, that was very entertaining. I find Bixlers Flite Test videos boring because they sre all yap before anything happens. He could use this as an object lesson. I'm going to build a half size version from 3mm depron.
Close enough! Amazing how out of whack the foam board planes can be yet still fly great. Bit of trim and Bob's your Uncle.
Awaiting part 2.... 😃😃😃
Thank you for this! Not overly concerned with 250# limit, I'm considering a build involving both coroflute-plast AND foam core, but for the life of me I can't figure any bit of this assembly coming even close to 250 pounds using either of the building materials! It was incredibly generous of the FAA to permit a UA weighing even more than I do!
This is great! There is no way for me to avoid building one of these. Thanks for putting this together.
was just pondering a micro fpv build, think i've found my design. thanks bruce!!
Nice! Can’t wait for second part.
yes me too!
FPV Outlaw. For People Viewing only. This is the most akurate, oops accurate dim mensions, dimension build ever.
Wing on part 2. Bring on part 2.
Make the Pod out of a Cooldrink bottle. Aerodynamic.
left a like on all comments , this will be my first foam board build. thanks for everything cheers from Canada.
Well this is long overdue Bruce, Yah I can finally use that foam board I bought when you 1st talked about the plans for building this outlaw...I can't wait till I have a bit of time to make it..
i've been waiting for this video for many months and finally i'll be able to make a plane as cool as this one unicorn🦄🛩️. Thank you so much 👍
LIVE THE VIDEO. I used to work at Home based in England and when people used to come up the the board cutting place we're I worked at. I got measurements in both and yes lengths of string with notch in them for what they wanted. But I used to say is it in Old English or New 😃😃.
Made one or two smile. But we got it right.
The string folk well I used a tape and got them to agree with what it said. And always write it down so both agree. And keeper it No comebacks as someone tried that on my mate.
Brilliant build, I'll have to add one of those to my fleet!! 🤔😯😎👍😁
Thanks Bruce! Will compare your design with our re-interpretation. You Rock!
I didn’t know I wanted to build an Outlaw until I saw your video 😅
Thank you very much for putting this together. Happy 2021
Well, I'll certainly be building this!
Thanks Bruce.
It's ALWAYS good to see you on the stick Bruce....KEEP GOING!
Cheers
Pete'
Clear gorilla glue works really good for foam board it will break before the glue joint let's loose
Part two been filmed yet Bruce ? , would be nice to have the follow up. 1 or 2 days has turned into 2 weeks tomorrow.
Easy enough to glue up I suppose but be nice to watch you do it for full effect and any tips.
Honking brill. Love it. As rough as my measurements
I can't wait to build one of these! This is an easy to follow Video, Thank you Bruce!
Thank you Bruce I've been wait for this video since you first showed this video
This made me smile. Thank you Bruce!!
When's part 2 going to be out?
In a few days NOT, I did hear mention about it getting edited in another video recently but it seems to have been put on the to do pile, hopefully it will be soon though
Happy new year Bruce! Looks like I've found my next project. (and the kids are eyeing me up, there might be a few of these in my future!)
edit: I've just use the banggood link, unfortunately Banggood now think I'm interested in hairpieces and will now attempt to sell them to me, thanks mate!
A month has passed, and we are waiting for part 2.
lolololol
68kk 0pb
I like it when landed is the last word in your video.
was just planning on building a little wing...guess this is good timing!
Thought Part 2 was going up 2 days ago from Bruce's comments still awaiting it.
That plane looks like a blast!
3rd time's a charm Bruce. Love this video.
23:20 The preferred green motor is a Multistar 1704- 1900kV and it is discontinued.
yey! at last thank you Bruce for finally getting round to the build vid, are the plans available too ?
As you'll see... there are no plans. They're not necessary.
My Dear Bruce, You clearly served your apprenticeship with Boeing, the only difference being metric.
I cant believe it!! how many years has it been??
2 by my count.
Wohooo- thanks for the video Bruce!!
Finally got there Bruce. Been waiting for this.
Thanks Bruce- From Costa Rica
I'm back to watch a second time!
Hi Bruce
Great Video, can't wait to start the build.
Tried to follow your custom link.....really, wigs on Banggood.......
Would love to know what motor, ESC etc you are using?
I like the low tech tape high visibility color scheme. The devil is in the details.
Nice men, congrats
Great video of a simple build, fingers crossed that someone will do a proper plan (such as a pdf).
These days I only fly the site mower due to the stupid regs, I must look up if I can fly sub 250 in the UK without all the BS !
That paper covered foam is an arm and a leg in the UK, I would use Depron with a short carbon spar :)
hobby craft 4 a1 sheets for £10
This is the Bruce i know
Right on man! 👍👍
Brilliant vid. Great choice of music too
I've just got some A2 sheets of Westfoam foam board from HobbyCraft in the UK. These are only 595mm long, so 5mm short for the wing span which should be acceptable. Perhaps a bigger issue is that the A2 sheet weighs 122g which equates to 488 g/m2. In comparison the Flitetest foam is 297 g/m2 so the Westfoam is 60% overweight. It would be interesting to know Bruce's sheet weight for comparison. I'll probably make the nose a bit longer to stop it being tail heavy.
thought it was 5 sheets by the picture but it turns out the price is for a single sheet.
Hi Bruce, how’s the polishing going. I now have a 24g motor and am ready for the construction and assembly video please. David
Hi Bruce. Gret video. Can you point me to Part 2 (the gluing)? I want to give this a shot.
He will be back !!!!
ive ordered the building board.please don't die before you do part 2, rob from south wales UK
Dying isn't on my "to do" list right now :-)
...That Shark Byte reaction review though...still waiting...Even though I have much more engaging things to look into in the US...and I already fly SharkByte with HDO2....your opinion and thoughts matter. Cheers Bruce!
Gosh, I didn't realise the Outlaw had the range to fly from the airport to the Park !!
Hay Bruce, I know you have been busy, but will Part 2 be coming up any time soon?
the smallest motor i have is a 2205, so i built a mighty mini scout and even with the over sized elctronics and a 850mah 3s lipo and fpv auw 243 grams!! (i saved weight with 3.7gram servos)
Ah, you had us with the title.
How about the follow up video please. As a newbie Ready and waiting for the next stage. Thanks Bruce. David
Polishing it today for upload.
Is it going to be a second part? looking forward to it!
i am saving this video for future use.
Base 12 is a better numbering system than the decimal.
Keep thing simple... use base 1 then everything's the same :-)
Great one I will build one to learn LOS, I have a arwing 900 but I get disoriented quick and if I crashed will end in tears whit this one no problem as will have less momentum and it's way cheaper, you recomand to laminate this one to increase crash resistance? Thanks
Have everything in my spares box except the paper-backed foam so adding a few CF spars to plain 5 mm foam. Ready for assembly. Do you have a recommendation for an initial CofG?
Fantastic, thanks!!!
