Well i don't know if this does anyting and i just started flying my Roo, but the person who built my plane modified the nose gear further forward than other Roo's. I only have four flights on it but all landings so far have stuck like glue. I have slowed it down though, and haven't had a hot one yet, so i don't know how it would do with a higher landing speed. My nose strut is 10 inches back from the nose of the plane. I like the brake idea. i will use it for extra insurance from hoping..
