Just got back from flying VO - she's fine and running straight as a die

Taxying into wind and downwind produced no deviation, normal corrections required on take-off and landing was normal too (I completed a roll to a stop using only rudder).

Having put that one to bed (I hope), I now wish to start another discussion:

In this aircraft's manual, it states that the scheduled landing performance is for 'normal' braking, which I take to mean braking is applied when the aircraft is stable on the ground following landing. It's pertinent for those flying VO because our runway lengths are approaching the performance limit of the aircraft as stated.

If I understand correctly, there are some in this thread who suggest braking during the landing roll is a no-no. My question is - can you demonstrate where it says this in any Cub family manual? I'm genuinely interested in official advice but not if it's anecdotal/ old-wives techniques developed by owners/ operators. Thanks
