Best solution might be to fabricate an airbrake flap for between the wheels. Definitely not scale, but a whole lot simpler to engineer.

Anybody want a REALLY BIG Byron/Iron Bay R-2?
1. How much? I was looking for one that I could place a big radial in it..... I think the geebee you have might support the RCS/moki 150 Radail??
how does that one balance out?
PM me and we will talk about it (your Bryan Geebee)!!!!!!

2.so sort of airbrake like the SBD Dauntless has on it's wings?? but under the bottom of the Geebee fuse??
I'll pm you with the details on the big R-2

Regarding the air brake suggestion, here are a couple of pictures of what I'm suggesting. This is on my Aeronca L. Just a simple flap that I control with the gear channel. Pretty effective at slowing it down.
