Control line is where Brodak started. CL builders hung on to dope-based finishes long after RC builders for the most part had abandoned them.
Put a seized Cox .049 in a can or jar of glow fuel and let it sit there for awhile to un-seize it. Depending on which .049 it is (a reed valve or front rotary valve engine) it may need a bit more TLC to get back in running shape.</thread drift>
