Default RE: UMS Evolution Radial Care and Operation

All, It is snowing now and I am busy in the workshop. I have been doing some maintenance on my radials. After a bunch of flights (40 or so) since my last valve adjustment I began the routine of resetting the gaps. Well after a few checks, lo and behold no adjustments where necessary. The bearings where still silky smooth but I did clean up a little bit of thickened oil around the glow plugs so I will have good electrical contact. I am hoping the engines will be available soon. Heck these engines are even fun to look at in the winter but I will be flying the heck out of them this spring. I am still deciding on what plane for the 7-35. Please chime in everybody on your current or future projects. -Tom
