RE: Scrubbing speed after landing.
Are you flying off of dirt, pavement, grass? If it is grass dont worry it will slow rapidly. If it's a cub learn to land three point and keep full up elevator and it will slow quickly. As Gray Beard said a little toe in will help with both takeoff and landing. The tubing trick works great, but don't put too much brake in as it may nose over. You may find it will slow quickly on its own if it has the cheap foam wheels that come with many of the new planes. One last thing, if you can program the ESC make sure you can set it so the prop will free wheel with the trottle off and soft brake with the trim down. A free spinning prop will have a lot more drag than a stopped prop.
