My K45 arrived on Tuesday and a quick transplant onto my test glider that has been flown extensively with my own Sprite turbine enabled us to go flying today.
The model is the Topmodel Swift S1 which is strong enough to take the K45 as you will see from the video.

I filmed the first start with the engine on the plane and the first flight. All I did at home was to prepare was to check the radio was correctly set up with the ECU and to ensure the kero setting started fuel flowing. With Dave Wilde on the sticks we had 4 flights varying from 8 minutes to 10 minutes in length. The fuel tanks are 2 600ml tanks giving 1.2 litres. We did fly till the fuel was exhausted and it seems flights of 6-8 minutes with vigorous flying is possible with 1.2 litres.

The plane weighs 8 Kg with fuel so it will not go vertical but the performance was pretty good. The engine performed flawlessly all starts were free from flames and I used a 3 cell A123 1100 mAh battery for the 4 flights without recharging.
