Pictures provide the details. When retracts are lowered drag is provided. They also work on down lines, spin entry and I played with connecting to throttle stick to automatically lower gear at low throttle...used an extra swith to turn this "condition on".

Rusty,
Thank you so much for the pictures, very helpful. The Conquest IVe (Electric) with a 13x10 apc freewheeling up front just does not slow down and landings are difficult. I am trying solve that problem.
I have a couple of details questions:
1.) Did you wrap the strap all the way around the strut so that the bolt goes thru two metal holes or did you cut the strap and the bolt only goes thru one metal hole?
2.) It looks like you only soldered the top stap, is that correct?
3.) Did you use a light weight plastic for the brake itself?
4.) Is Four Pi still in business? I called to order the straps and got a generic machine.
Thanks!
Doug
