Default Flying The Roo

the best trick for mistake free landings on the roo is to have your brakes on and slightly dragging so upon immediate touch down it plants the nose down in the runway and bleeds off speed quickly..
I have my brakes setup with a free mix so that at idle they drag and keep model still. this setting is also is what works for landing
when I go about 2 clicks beyond idle the brakes release.. the brakes are also proportional to down elevator all the time.. I cant imagine with a landing having the presence of mind to hit down elevator at touchdown, my brakes are already on and slowing model just from the free mix then I can apply more breaking as needed using elevator..........
