Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 02, 2015, 08:40:29 PM Owner's instruction manual and warranty card.
Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: K K Iyer on March 02, 2015, 08:53:53 PM Congrats.
Engine looks great. Instructions and warranty are nice. Wish the engine a long life. Can you believe that this company makes multi cylinder radial engines? And i had never heard of it till someone mentioned it on this forum! Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 02, 2015, 09:04:43 PM Thank you K K Iyer. Yes i'm aware of the multi cylinder radial engine and have been following there progress since start. Warranty is for 1 year (limited) and paid Rs 2687/- shipped which i think is a steal.
UMS25 Rs 2215/- + 14.5% CST Rs 321/- + Courier charges Rs 151/- (Via DTDC Lite Air and fast) Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 02, 2015, 09:06:13 PM Sure seems good. Waiting for the run report
BTW, how much did it set you back? Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 02, 2015, 09:06:53 PM Sorry, you posted the price while my post was uploading :)

Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 02, 2015, 09:32:05 PM I got the contact number ( Ph: +91-422-2243439 Ext: 326 ) from there website ( URL : www.umstech.in (http://) ), after calling up i was directed to Commercial Department and spoke to a lady named Sripriya, she requested to send an mail to support@umstech.in for further correspondence. After answering all my quires and quotes i sent an email conformation of the order then got a proforma invoice with bank details and i paid via NEFT (off-line). It took 5days to reach me :).
Sahil Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 02, 2015, 09:57:30 PM Sanjay after reading instructions my head started to spin. I'm not giving up at, will do a bench setup to break-in the engine ;) Cox engine is starting to look like a electric motor in comparison to proper glow engine tuning >:D.........may be because i'm new to this tuning 8-)
Planning to start working on the engine this Weekend. Some pics till then :) Sahil Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 02, 2015, 10:14:01 PM CASTING

Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: Rcjabalpur on March 02, 2015, 11:15:46 PM You break-in an engine well and it will never guve up on you . My 9 years old os .46 AX still starts with a single flick and has a great low range , i have almost 5 NIB engines with me (i dont fly nitros much) will find some time one day and break-in all of them . Best of luck
Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 03, 2015, 07:41:23 AM You will be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to start and break in a new glow engine. Just follow the instructions; also do have a quick read on an OS (eg) 46 AX - go to http://manuals.hobbico.com/osm/46ax2-manual.pdf (http://manuals.hobbico.com/osm/46ax2-manual.pdf) and browse through it
Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 03, 2015, 11:27:29 AM sanjay took a print out of the manual and give it a good read.
Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: girishsarwal on March 03, 2015, 12:18:06 PM Engine looks good. Looking forward to the the run report. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:. The carbs are air bleed type right?

Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 03, 2015, 07:48:14 PM I only wish it had twin ball bearings instead of bushes
Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 03, 2015, 08:29:22 PM Thanks Roman buddy
Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 03, 2015, 08:32:51 PM Well sanjay bearings would have been nice but considering the price i doubt it. Let see how this whole experience un-winds.
Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 03, 2015, 08:37:32 PM Hi Girishsarwal
Thanks for helping on the fuel part, i don't know if its a air-bleed carb but the instruction provided with the engine does mention of air-bleed screw for high-low rpm setting :). Sahil Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: flyingboxcar on March 27, 2015, 04:03:21 PM That engine is a copy of the OS LA design down to a T (or should I say A?). Absence of ball bearing is in a way good, as these do tend to rust. The bushing assuming it is bronze bushed will last a long time, use 20% castor oil, break it in gently and you will have a long lasting engine.
Are the piston cylinder steel or ABC? Don't know if any one else noticed the blooper in the parts listing :) :) Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 27, 2015, 08:36:45 PM Hi,
Good to hear from you :) . I think its ABC piston and awesome man (sharp eyes) spot on cylinder head diagram is missing {:)} :giggle: I'm at to get the props and stuff but made the fuel and had run through my cox sure start. Regards Sahil Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on March 27, 2015, 08:38:55 PM I will send a E-mail to the company people to do the necessary corrections and thanks to manish ji
Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: flyingboxcar on March 28, 2015, 11:39:11 AM Could be ABC or ABN, it is easier to manufacture than a great fitting honed steel cylinder and piston set.
You can check by placing a small magnet next to the piston from exhaust side to check if the piston magnetic material or not Title: Re: Unboxing of UMS 25 Glow Engine and Testing Post by: sahilkit on April 21, 2015, 10:37:43 PM Good explanation on engine usage.
