Default RE: stopping!

Change to a one inch larger diameter propellor with one inch less pitch. Example: if you are using a 10x6 then try an 11x5. When you do this you are increasing the propellor blade swept area, more drag at idle and easier to control your approach.

The fuel line gig on the axle will work for a landing or two but soon melt away and you are right back where you started.
