Default RE: ESC brake function - anyone using it?

As I was climbing up to 200 feet my o-ring broke and my prop came off.It was the 1st time my plane was ever able to glide in w/o power.Just like a dead-stick landing on a glow power plane.

If you can make your prop stop,your plane will glide further,but when it windmills it causes more drag than at a slow rpm.The prop is blowing air forwards,plus it blocking air.
