Luna-
Thanks for the info on the Seidel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is on it's way to Canada...

Anyone know if it comes with a glow driver, or for that matter if it has any accessories with it or available for it? An exhaust ring would be great too...

kahloq

It does not come with a glow driver.

I was looking at the specs...so its a 69.5cc motor. So not much bigger then the ASP 400 5 cyl at 65cc. However, what I did note was the rpm difference. The ASP 400 specs list up to 9000rpms while the seidel lists 6000. Thats a big difference if accurate. However, the seidel can spin a larger prop.....at 26x8 comapred to a 22x8 of the ASP. Might be good with a 22x12 then on the seidel to get some speed????

Wow! That is the new India built Seidel. For $1000 US that is a killer deal for that awesome looking engine! The ASP FS-400 is only $100 less!

kahloq

The ASP 400 is 799(when logged in), so $200 less actually. The Seidel is 999 when logged in.

I just sent an e-mail to Seidel to get some answers about the Seidel-UMS 7-70 radial engine...
If anyone can help out, please chime in...

Here is the e-mail I just sent...

UMS-70
Seidel-UMS Seven Cylinder Glow plug Radial Engine

Good day Mr. Seidel,
Please excuse any grammatical errors in the following e-mail. I have used a Microsoft language translator to convert it from English to German.
The reason for this letter is because I have just purchased one of your engines from Hobby King and I have several questions.

1. I was wondering if you have a collector type exhaust system available, or if you might know of one that is available?

2. Is there any recommended oil or lubrication for the rocker arms, pushrods and valves, as they are not enclosed?

3. Which glow driver do you recommend?

4. Is the engine covered by a warranty and can spare parts be purchased for it?

I thank you for your time and wish you the best.

Sincerely,



UMS-70
Seidel-UMS sieben Zylinder Glow Plug Radial-Engine

Guten Tag Herr Seidel

Entschuldigen Sie bitte alle grammatikalische Fehler in der folgenden E-mail. Ich habe einen Microsoft Ãœbersetzer verwendet, um Sie aus dem Englischen ins Deutsche zu konvertieren.
Der Grund für diesen Brief ist denn ich habe eine der Ihre Motoren nur aus Hobby King erworben, und ich mehrere Fragen habe.

1. Mich ich wurde, wenn Sie einen Kollektor-Typ Abgas System zur Verfügung haben, oder wenn Sie vielleicht eines wissen, die verfügbar ist?

2. Gibt es eine Öl- oder Schmierung für die Rocker Waffen, Pushrods und Ventile, empfohlen wie Sie nicht eingeschlossen sind?

3. Empfehlen welche Glühen-Treiber Sie?

4. Kann das Modul, die durch eine Garantie abgedeckt und können Ersatzteile für es werden erworben?

Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Zeit und wünsche Ihnen Erfolg.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Luna_Rendezvous

You might want to try Keleo They might be able to make a custom exhaust ring for you.

I looked at their website this morning and they don't list anything. There is also a statement that they are too busy to do custom work too. []

I have the same engine and obtained an exhaust ring from Sonnenhof-Modellbau. Excellent product and good service. Web site for their Siedel engines is http://www.sonnenhof-modellbau.ch/Ve...ngsmotoren.htm Hope this helps. Doc

I have just recived today my ST 7-70 from seidel directly, ( after 3 months waiting!!). Great looking engine. Hope it works fine. I´m going to use this DC-DC converter for the glowplugs, ( 12 V to 1,4 V 30 amp max)

http://cgi.ebay.es/CONVERTER-DC-DC-1...#ht_3524wt_960

I have tried it with the seven plugs, and it gives an steady 22-23 amps with no problem, from a 3S lipo, ( than only draws about 3,5 amps).

Some pics of the "home made" glow driver

Felix,
Does the engine come with anything other than the basic engine (glow plugs, tool kit, manual, exhaust pipes and collector, etc ? (pictures would be great). Is it the UMS 7-70 made in India?

THanks so much! I hope you plan on providing us with some video of the run and subsequent runs too ...

WooHoo!!!!! I can't wait for mine to arrive!!!!!

Radial power

Did you send an e-mail to moki italia or to the other address specified in the SLEngines website?

I could be wrong, but I think that I read somewhere that the owner of SLEngines is going to introduce one or two new engines (a 7 cylinder and a 9 cylinder) at the upcoming "Verona model expo" (march 6th and 7th). It could be that he's quite busy with the final preparation for the event.

Of course, maybe this weekend
