Xicoy X45TP mounting tools

Mounting help for the X45Tp turboprop. Allt parts very simplified to print easy on any printer. Added text on the dummy too as I saw some assembly video on youtube there they actually mounted the engine upside down in the plane(!) Not easy to know.

By doing it clever you can now first align the engine BEFORE needing to cut the firewall. It's like magic, but for real :-)

Helps aligning engine
Helps drlling hole pattern
Helps cutting the firewall
Helps marking and the cowl for cutting exhaust holes

Prop hole taps to M10. Rear hole in the knob taps M5. Exhaust holes drills out to 10mm to make a 10mm drill slide with no binding.

It's one short dummy that aligns in a DL50 pattern. Centers on the rear knob too. If it's too small just print an adaptor to fit your needs. Before cutting or drilling you can mount the dummy using the rear hole in the knob only. M5 acrew and washer does the trick. Now align the cowl before needing to cut or drill anything.
