Default brakes on trainer 40

I have a tower trainer ARF and I have a place to fly off a tar road.What I found is that it rolls so good that its hard to slow down after i land.Can i use plastic washers or something on each side of the wheel to make a little friction??? any other ideas??? thank!!

I fly off grass but I think I heard people using fuel tubing against the wheel and slows the plane down.

just be careful too much drag on one side or the other will make it tough to control on the ground.

if you really want to go all out and had an extra servo and channel, you COULD make a brake controlled by radio.

1. Check your idle speed. Lower it if possible.
2. Trim down speed or shut down engine just before landing.
3. Change Prop. Go 1" up in dia. and down 1" in pitch. ***
