NEVER EVER PUT YOUR BRAKES ON THE DOWN ELEVATOR...she will wheel barrow ( as any delta wing plane ) and any cross wind will lift the windward wheel and you will be heading off the runway in a second or two

Duh, 300 flights on the Roo with down elevator brakes and I have yet to see the mains lift, nor on any of the other 1200 turbine flights with my other airplanes. And I do fly in heavy winds in the desert. Land on speed.
