I think what rcpete is trying to say in regards to the brakes, is that when you have them set on down elevator when you are coming in hot, when you touch down and immediately apply the brakes through down elevator you can get some insane bounce going. its kinda like landing a jet fast and letting up on the up elvevator. If it has too much speed its going to bounce down the entire runway unless its a heavy metal jet. Only the input of down elevator will make that worse. I personally like the brakes on a switch rather than down elevator input. Just have the spotter hit the switch on final.
