Pretty cool that Brodak has control-line airplanes, too. I used to fly those a long time ago. I still have a couple of Cox .049 engines, probably totally seized up.

I guess that is a good trade-off to spend twice as much on the product if it works better than twice as good in saving you sealing and sanding time. It may take 4-6 coats of Deft sanding sealer on balsa with lots of sanding in between, but sounds like you can get good results with 2-3 coats of the Brodak sealer in many of your builds, give or take.
