watch out for any power on with brakes! = bad combo! eg. when turning with a cross wind, if the wind is from the left, and you are trying to turn right, and you are needing more and more right brake and more and more power,....shut down, and turn it by hand! wind on fuselage and tail will act as if left brake on too, so increasing power and brake on right will happily tip it on it's nose! happened to someone with a supercub at my site, now i am aeroplaneless until engine and prop comes back...
