Default RE: Sterling 48

I had to trace the windshield parts on to birch plywood because they did not stain the same color and texture as the birch did. You can see that the bottom birch part is different than the kit supplied part. There are some places where this can not be avoided but I had a choice here. I have a couple of questions for those of you tuned in.

I need a clear sealer that will not raise the grain. I tried an oil based and a lacquer based one but the grain had to be sanded. How about latex?

Is there a brushless power system with a Kv rating around 800 available? I will also need a matching speed control, preferably with reverse. I’ll be using a 14 cell NiMh battery pack.
