Congratulations on your purchase of these new generation Xicoy X45 two stage gas turbine engines. We
are confident you will be delighted with your purchase and your new engine will give you excellent
service and maximum enjoyment to your hobby.
The X45Heli and X45TurboProp are a new extension of a very extensive research and development
programme by Gaspar Espiell & Xicoy Electronica SL supported by the latest fluid dynamics and
analysis software to bring you miniature gas turbine power units of unparalleled performance and
versatility in amazingly small packages. New electronics design and digital programming sets a new high
bar standard for this new generation of small turbine engines.
Much of the installation and operation of these engines is common to both units so we have combined
the instruction notes to a single manual to aid currency and completeness. Where instruction is specific
to one unit it will be stated.
This manual has been prepared to help you set up and safely operate your engine in your chosen
airframe. If you encounter any problems operating the engine then please consult this manual first and if
you cannot find a solution please get in touch with us.
If your problem is with a helicopter installation or operation of your chosen helicopter then please get in
touch with your install kit supplier.
