Yeah, I had a couple of those PST engines, great little turbines! The X45 is also great because it will still power most 60 size jets, but at a reduced take-off weight.

My Avanti has had 4 different engines in it, P20, K45G2, K30G2 and finally the X45, which has been in there for nearly 4 years! The K45G2 was a very heavy engine and it would be very heavy with a K65!

I have the same sequencer and the 7.2v Lipo connection is just power to the retracts. The signal is max 6v from the RX. If your bec supplied more than 6v, you may have fried it.

I have posted this earlier, but one litre would be good for at least 10 minutes, due to the low weight/high thrust ratio with this combination. I don't use brakes, not needed or required over here,...

You will love it!! The JP retracts look very good quality but possibly a little heavy, but you will have so much power, a little bit of extra weight won't worry it. I even flew mine with a K45G2 and...

Definitely do not use a P20 (30mm) pipe with the X45!! The pipe has to be 45-55 mm to get the performance and a small pipe will run very hot and lose thrust.
