Default RE: Landing on tall grass/pavement

The "fuel tubing washers" have been used effectively for slowing the plane on pavement. You use the wheel collar to adjust the friction against the wheel. You'd need to find a balance the would slow the plane sufficiently on landing, but still allow reaching take off speed.
