So its not about FPV. Since most of us own other models too, I post this vid which shows how to make brakes for the rear two wheels on a three-wheeled medium sized plane. I did this on my Richmodels Lancair which is pretty heavy and needs a really loooong runway to land (which is not always available)... Might prove handy to some of you guys too ... ;)

Brilliant!

(Unfortunately my planes dont have any wheels though)

.. But nevertheless a really clever idea , and a nice bit of engineering.. Thanks!  :D
