Put some fuel tubing on the axle, between the wheel and the wheel collar--both sides, equal tension. Or, just put it on the nose gear. Either way, this friction will provide all of the braking power you'll need for this plane.

Carefull on the fuel tube bit, I did that and by the third flight the friction melted my wheel hub.

FYI!

Grass landing make for great brakes, or if landing on asphalt - tighten your wheel collar to make the front not roll as freely.
